In Moroccan Arabic (Darija), making plurals can be simple (just adding a sound) or irregular (changing the whole word). Here’s a list of common examples with English, Darija, and French.
| English | Darija (Singular → Plural) | French |
|---|---|---|
| Book → Books | Ktab → Ktoba | Un livre → Des livres |
| Boy/Child → Children | Wald → Wlad | Un enfant → Des enfants |
| Girl → Girls | Bant → Bnat | Une fille → Des filles |
| Man → Men | Rajel → Rjâl | Un homme → Des hommes |
| Woman → Women | Mra → mrawat | Une femme → Des femmes |
| House → Houses | Dar → Dyour | Une maison → Des maisons |
📖 Example Sentences
