Hi all,

I’m learning darija, I’d like to know how to say the following sentences :

  • I thought this car was cheaper.

  • This shouldn’t be too hard.

  • I had this book before but I lost it.

  • Sorry, I’m a bit late, I had to help someone.

  • It’s not worth doing it.

  • I don’t need his help.

  • You should have told it to me before.

Thank you in advance for your help :slight_smile:

Thank you for your answers. I’m learning now and trying to understand the differences with the first answer from “Darija-Lover”. I think I’ll have few questions about it…
There are also these sentences I don’t know how to tell in darija :

  • I did it on purpose
  • Do you still want to do it ?
  • I wanted to do that.
    Thanks again :slight_smile:
