You heard them call you zzin, manshoufoush? Or Ghzala tbarkellah, wakha ntkellem m3ak? 10) If you’re a guy, you know what I’m talking about, if you haven’t done it, at least you’ve witnessed it and wanted to beat the guy up if it was around your sister or girlfriend. 11) You call your mom’s girlfriends Khalti and your dad’s friend’s 3ammi. 12) The US is called Lmirikan, Italy, Ttalian, France, Fransa, Spain, Ssbalyoun, China Shinwa 13) You knew that when someone signaled you with the “Flash” and they were coming from the opposite direction that meant there’s a hidden radar or cops, slow down! 14) You have so many way to designate money.

When you have a spot on your arm (called "jelba") when you go to teleboutik, you insert one (1) dirham , you talk with your friend, and when you're done, you verify if the machine gave you back the change, even if you know that you've only put one dirham when u call baguette "parisiana" ,pain o chocolat "ptit pain" ,pain aux raisins "chnek"et tout les détergents TIDE If you can still remember all the lyrics of Annamirou el Mouqanna3 when you are old... for instance " Halbatou el Mosara3a moultaqa al abtal fiha zawaya arba3a machdoudatou al hibal laha majdoun qadim wa tarikhoun 3adim saghiratoun lakinnaha dounia mina al aaamaaal" when you kiss the bread before you throw it When you buy "bigni cho skhoun" every summer at the beach When at least one person you know saw 3ycha 9ndicha someday or knows someone who did//en.yabiladi.com/topics/know-moroccan-when-44-2081831-2081831.html#msg-2081831 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:03:49 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
