In Moroccan Arabic (Darija), personal pronouns are words we use to talk about ourselves or other people (I, you, he, she, we, they). They are essential for making sentences and having conversations. Let’s learn them!
| Darija | English | French |
|---|---|---|
| Ana | I / Me | Je / Moi |
| Nta | You (male) | Tu (masculin) |
| Nti | You (female) | Tu (féminin) |
| Howa | He | Il |
| HÙ‡ya | She | Elle |
| Hna | We | Nous |
| Ntuma | You (plural) | Vous |
| Huma | They | Ils / Elles |
📖 Examples with Personal Pronouns
Here are some simple sentences using these pronouns:
- Ana mzyan → I am fine → Je vais bien
- Nta sa7bi → You (male) are my friend → Tu es mon ami
- Nti zwina → You (female) are beautiful → Tu es belle
- Howa talmid → He is a student → Il est étudiant
- Hiya ostada→ She is a teacher → Elle est professeure
- Hna f lmdina → We are in the city → Nous sommes en ville
- Ntuma jayin? → Are you (all) coming? → Vous venez ?
- Huma f l7anut → They are in the shop → Ils/Elles sont dans le magasin
💡 Tip: In Darija, pronouns are often attached to verbs. For example, Ana bghit (I want), Nta bghiti (you want). Learning pronouns makes it easier to use verbs correctly! 🔑
