hey = azul / salam

where = fayn (moroccan arabic)

where are you going? = fayn ghadi? (moroccan arabic)

oraa sawal7 tachel7it = i don’t speak tachel7it

ghassa = today

orfehemgh walut autha = I don’t understand anything!

orsengh autha = I don’t know anything!

Rad am fkegh imik n aghroum

btw since i don’t know the tachel7it words for “how are you” and “what did you say” i’ll, again, give you the darija equivalents:

how are you = la bas? / ca va? (french, but used widely in Morocco) / kidayr? (m.) - kidayra (f.)

what did you say? = ach golti?

:slight_smile:

Let me add some basic phrases to LA’s. LA, thanks for your help. I’ll exclude all Moroccan Arabic, and leave only tachelhit.

So here you go with 20 useful Tachelhit phrases.

  • Hello = Azul. (I never say it, I just say the Islamic version: Assalamo 3alaykom. If you are planning on going to some remote area, I am curious to know whether people use azul as a greeting there or not)

  • How are you =[b] 1)Manik atgit? (s) / Manzakin? (s.m) / Manzakmin (f.s)
    2) Manik atgam? / Manzaknin? (p.m)
    3) Manik atgamat? / Manzakntin? (p.f)

  • Yes = Ya

  • No = Oho

  • Where? = Mani?

  • When? = Manouk?

  • What? = Manwa?

  • Why? = Makh? (kh = Spanish j)

  • Where is it? = Manzat?

  • What did you say? = Mas tnnit?

  • I have to go = Ikhssa addou7

  • I am hungry = Yaghiyyi laaz (gh = French r)

  • I am thirsty = Yaghiyyi faad (gh = French r)

  • I don’t know/understand what you said/saying = Or ssn7 mas tnnit
