Okay, I’ll translate it this time.
Marylin is a hardworking and smart student.

It’s school vocabulary :).

Next sentence:
Mllî knt sghîra w anâ mâ kan7mlsh l7lîb.
[large]??? ??? ??? ? ??? ?? ??? ???[/large]

#82

When I was young, I didn’t like milk

#83

That’s: Mllî knt shîra, mâ kntsh kan7ml l7lîb, and that’s different from my sentence.

#84

I see a lot of differences but I can’t translate:

when I was young ( so far so good ? ) and I don’t like milk ,( but that doesn’t make any sence)

help!!!:neu:

#85

Since you see the present there, for a past situation, then it’s an action that started in the past and still has its effect in the present, and you can put it this way:
I didn’t like milk since I was a kid.
In Darija, you express the past continuous this way, with actually a verb in the present. Makes sense?
Translate this to make sure you got it: I didn’t like French since I was a kid.

#86

mlli knt shira, ana ma kan7mlsh lfransawija:hap:

#87

and can you also use the verb ma kanbghij? ( I am not sure about the transcription )

#88

Yes, you can use mâ kanghîsh as well, but you absolutely have to use “w” before “anâ”, otherwise the sentence will not make sense at all.
So it’s: Mllî knt sghîra w anâ (punounced wana) mâ kan7mlsh/mâ kanbghîsh lfaransiyya.

#89

Is it clear? Can we move on?

#90

ok let me try too :wink: tell me what to translate :^^:

#91

okay, we go on , I can’t wait!

The use of the w, is this like in: hadi telt shur w ana kaneqra darija?

#92

Exactly, it accompanies the expression of actions that started in the past, last even in the present.
(And I am sure you meant sh-hôr)

So next sentence, for the first one of you to pass by :).

Translate:
3âd klît wâ7d TTâjîn bnîn dyâl l7ôt.
[large]??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???[/large]

#93

I ate one delicious whale Tajin?

#94

You did good :). You just missed the word 3âd, which means just, and you misunderstood 7ôt, which is fish, samak as you call it. We call 7ôt even sardines :hap:.
I just ate a delicious fish tajine.

Next sentence:
Anâ mrîDa shwiyya, fiyyâ sskhâna.
[large]??? ??? ??? ??? ???[/large]

#95

I am a little bit sick, I have fever

#96

Correct :). Well done.

Next sentence:
Ashnô shrîtî mn ssôq?
[large]??? ??? ?? ???[/large]

#97

What did you(female) buy from the market?

#98

Correct, well done :).

Every now and then I suggest very simple mistakes, and then the level of difficulty increases. Be ready!

Next sentences:
Mâshî anâ llî glt lwidad tmshî bo7dhâ.
[large]??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???[/large]

#99

ok, i was the one who told widad to go by herself.

#100

You’re sure you didn’t miss anything? Mâshî for example, which is the equivalent of the Egyptian “mish”.
Or you just mistyped?
