In Darija (Moroccan Arabic), it makes sense to say “Shukran sahbi” to mean “Thank you, my friend.” This is the correct and commonly used order. Saying “Sahbi shukran” is less common and might sound unusual to native speakers. you can still use it, arabic is a flexible language. So, “Shukran sahbi” is the appropriate way to express your gratitude to a friend.
