Hi, I got this text message and I’m not sure what it means, does anyone know?
ma3mrk t9wlili kra7ni 7it nti fi 9albi.
I get all of the sentence except the ‘kra7ni’ part.
Also, does anyone way I can learn how to text in darija using a keyboard that has french letters. Basically, I want to learn how to write messages like the one above in bold, how can I learn how to text? I understand messages most of the time but I find it really hard to reply. I am moroccan and can speak darija ok???
the only way u can learn it is chatting a lot with moroccans … coz there r many ways many moroccans confuse vowels in text messaging … for example : u can write FEN or FIN ( where )
i can give u lalla aisha’s facebook if u want … u can chat with her she will help u a lot to forget ur darija i meant to write well ur darija
about the word above … ive never heard it before … sorry cant help u
yes yes i agree, I hear that lalla aisha has taught many desperate darija learners a great deal of darija and now all her students are fluent speakers… but for some reason she still has trouble speaking herself :S i think she’s getting old
i too, couldn’t figure out what kra7ni is.
u don’t need french letters, just change your english sounds to the french equivalents, by using ch instead of sh, r instead of gh, ou instead of u/w etc.
