I thought of this exercise , & it’s kinda “ta7diri” 😊 but its good to test how good are you in speaking Darija.

Ok, i give random words, & you try to form the right sentence 🙂

Here you go:  
el 7arara - el ma - bzaf - sayf - khassna - kina - had - mzyan - nsharbo

I’ll help you for the first time 🙂

Had…mzyan

A wild guess; I only understand 4 and a half of the words… :blink:

Almost right !  
you said : Had [color=#FB1C03][/color] kina el 7arara bzaf [color=#FE0000]sayf[/color] khassna nsharbo el ma mzyan

The word in the wrong place is in red, & so the place it should be in.  
so the right one must be as followin:  
Had sayf kina el 7arara bzaf, khassna nsharbo el ma mzyan  
It could also be:  
kina el 7arara bzaf had sayf, khassna nsharbo el ma mzyan

The meaning: it’s so hot this summer, we must drink enough/lot of water

shall i give the next oe ? or would someone do it 😃

Mmmm’kaaay :^^:

New sentence:

khabsha - msh - f - khbesh - khashba (it’s a tongue twister, but so easy)  
I’ll help you, msh (or mush) = a cat

😊

I still don’t understand though. Mzyan does not mean good? And what’s sayf & kina? If sayf is summer, why isn’t it “had as-sayf”? Hmmmm..

I’ll venture a try on your new sentence as well, in spite of the earlier disaster 😃

khabsha - msh - f - khbesh - khashba (it’s a tongue twister, but so easy)  
msh f-khabsha khbesh khashba.

Btw, what does ta7diri mean?

## @Jonquix; yes mzyan means good, but you put it in the wrong place, & sayf & as sayf is the same, i mean it doesn’t make much different in that sentence. Ta7diri is the 1st grade.

msh f-khabsha khbesh khashba ! close, but you have 2 words to switch, a verb & its noun.

Given that there were four words (and a preposition that will be tagged on one of the others) that makes it only 50% right 😛 Anyways, not knowing what the words mean, it’s a complete shot in the dark (what a terrible metaphor! never thought about it before). I think khashba must be a noun, and khbesh the verb so I’ll say msh f-khabsha khashba khbesh, then.

you just don’t realize how hilarious it sounds 🤣 🤣 🤣

ok ok i’m sorry, here’s the answer.  
msh khbesh khabsha f khashba = a cat scratched a scratch on a piee of wood.  
if khbesh is the verbn obviously khabsha must be the noun, not khashba, lol i remember that joke again ! khoshba ? sob3k 🤣

* * *

a new one, i’ll try to make it easier.

l7mar - khrejt - 3la - dwwar - mn - rkebt - w

dwwar = village

it’s too simple 🆗

No , that’s the only meaning, the game/exercise is not actually about meaning, it’s about forming a right understandable sentence in Darija 🙂
