[jorgento]

so, the L is not pronounced at the en of a word? like in Msel kheer (mse kher)

[raaakaaan26]

ana smeeti james, i feel that i speak a totally different Arabic



[klebehss]

the way he speaks is too formal and uses too much arabic, moroccans speak a more faster easy way than this. like : wash moumkin tahder bchwiyya ? would be more like : 3afak hder bchwiyya! or : " ched karrak a l 7mar !!" or maybe : "fre3tily wedni a rass Tobba !! "

Im' just makin' a point ...

[scareglare]

what happened to the 'la bas?'

[makalehelie]

This realy helped my thank you. I'm moroccan but i only speak Amazigh, RIF. But i live in Holland

[makalehelie]

James? hahahaha

[aleebaabaa]

koss okht el-lehga di

[ahmed337799]

The Morroccan/Algerian accent is beautiful, I don't think there's a major difference between and the other Arabic dialects like many people try to make. Listen to it more and you'll see it's pure Arabic.

[MylinaspaincA]

@traantje1 well, you're wrong

[pacoott]

moroccan arabic is a mixture of pronounciations of the middle east like boucher= jazar gazar(egyptien) janaza gnaza(egyption) sun=chamch (hebrew) water=maa we say ma(hebrew) some people in the south say maya(aramaic) exemple: what's your name in moroccan is "shno smitak or sho smak (south) arabs of tiznit and howara and sahara" same in levant is "sho smak in syria or sho ismak in lebanon", though arabic moroccan is influenced by amazigh.

[xnadiaaaaaaa]

thanks! this was sooo helpful because i'm gonna visit my moroccan family this summer, and i don't speak arabic at all xd and no french either haha..

[MultiDoitall]

stop saying morocco is not arab... berber are the same. if u go back to there asestors they are arab for example im berber however my great great grand dad is from saudi.........................­.................... and the minority in morocco speak berber.. the majority speak darij ( moroccan arabic )

[Housefrequence]

@MultiDoitall Nope, Berbers don't have Arab origins, they're North Africans and so were their ancestors. But who cares what your origins are ? There are no races among humans and we all belong to the same species, just don't spread wrong facts around.

Now, about the video, as a native speaker, some of these expressions sound rather unnatural to me, the ones that start with "Ana" in particular. For example, "Smeeti James" would sound much more natural to me.

[marwinho95]

@MultiDoitall no you great dad is not arabic. if you are a barber stop saying morocco is not arabic.you can't judge a book by its cover .this land is for the god .You Can't Say morocco is arabic or for berber . morocco is in africa and the barber is not african peopel.you must to learn more about the history.when arabic comme to morocco from middle east they they found the barber they teach him islam.and we don't know what is the original land of barber maybe they are arabic peopel from sabae.

[NaBjE11]

@MultiDoitall well the might speak derija because THEY HAVE TOO,but the MAJORITY is amazigh in morocco

[alitareqali]

Wow.. the Egyptian Arabic is really different

[titi280289]

hey can somebody tell me what is "mzyaaaaan" meaning in english ?

[lam0089]

@titi280289 its mean" Okaaay, all right , fine , done..."

[cntcmupwithusername]

This is a beautiful language-- but I don't think I'll ever get the pronunciation right!

[yazzyx3jonasbrothers]

aaah the accent reminds me of casa.. im sooo excited to go this year :D

[jonasbrothersrock125]

im half Moroccan and half Egyptian. and i absolutely LOVE speaking in moroccan dialect. its so different :)

[TheShoshoman]

fuunyyyyyyyyyy

[KimoCool5]

iam from Egypt and I understanding English I do not understanding the moroco Arab accent

[lizaruby2588]

thanks! it was a little fast...but thanks!

[DellyGaL]

I love Moroccan Arabic it has a extra spice to it.... I wish to learn it someday to go back and visit again....

[UltimateDarkloid]

Heh it's more formal than Algerian.

[ragtag3333]

One problem with this video is that at least 1 speaker (and probably both) are not really native speakers.  They're American. I can tell by their accents. They're good, but no native speaker would be fooled.

Besides, why would anyone WANT to learn Moroccan Arabic? It's about the most useless dialect there is if you're going to be involved in the Middle East. Try speaking it in Cairo or the Gulf and you'll be laughed out of your nearest neighborhood SUQQ.

[hmejja1]

@ragtag3333 Grow up, will you... there are many people that move to Morocco or Algeria and need to learn how to communicate with people. Your Arabic won't be useful in Morocco. And by the way the guy is a native Moroccan... I can tell since I am Moroccan.

[theBraxil]

OMG HOW DOES IT KNOW IM 20!!!!111one!!!!?!?!

[19Armada84]

This is great BUT,

you should speak louder...

Also, would be awesome if you put some subtitles underneed, we cant see your mouth or articulation. Hard to be sure if you heard things right. For example: Chocran...? (lol, im dutch, see what i mean tho...) is Kutsi Lebes right? (how are you...?)

Still good video tho.

[shayoom1]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tbarkilah 3lik akhay..

[supervickyNo1]

thanks for the video, but next time it would be great if you gave us beginners some time to repeat it =) and then listen to it again =)

[dandisc88]

my parents are from morrocco but i dont think they speak this dialect... it sounds different than this

[theBraxil]

@dandisc88 from what i found in morocco the range of accents from different parts is vast, country pple speak rly slow and bouncy, and all my firends from casa say the towns down south like essaouira speak with a feminine affliction.

[khinti]

The domestic languages spoken in Morocco are: Darija ( this language is an arabic but very touched by french, spanish, portuguese, berber and other influences, most moroccans speak Darija but it is used mostly in the middle, north and the west of Morocco) Berber: it's calimed it's the original language before the islamic conquests, spoken mostly in the south with differences in accents and pronunciation.

Tarifit: spoken in the north east only.. so my tip for non arab ppl is to learn classical

[crazylova91]

[usb333]

@kemoraeve and that's exactly what I said

why are you so mad?!

[Flashhur]

i really wanna learn moroccan but it's very hard most hard words i can't speak good can someone help me?

[usb333]

@Flashhur

Start learning Standard Arabic. It's waaay easier and it's understandable in every Arab country -including Morocco-.

[ceniboy]

standard arabic is not understood in Morocco at all

[caraaryana]

@ceniboy thats not true at all. Its easier to understand standard if you know moroccan arabic, than the other way around.

[bigdoul]

@ceniboy What you are saying is stupid, how people would be able to go to School, watch the news or read a book? LOL

[Flashhur]

can you teach me then ?:)

[usb333]

sorry, i'm not really a good teacher but i guess the internet is full of learning resources so .. good luck!

[nabilino]

Good vid.thanks...from now on we all have 20 yrs in age :D

[met3afleg]

James hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[TheXico89]

Moroccan arabic has a lot of different accents northern moroccans speak different they use qafق instead of gaf a southern moroccan would say gouliya while a northern moroccan would say quly both of them mean "tell me" northern moroccans mix arabic,riffan tamazight,spanish and some french in their dialect,while sothern moroccans mix arabic,some tamazight,a lot of freanch and few subsahrian word(southern moroccans are mullatoes)

[bacteriasnipper]

I need a doctor: rani mhtaj (L) ttbib

How to say 'I've lost my keys'?

[Elearning123]

I've lost my keys = swarti "daou" twadrou liya OR you can make shifting, twadrou "daou" liya swarti

[bacteriasnipper]

u can also say 'tjlaw liyya swarti ( swart dyawli) or vice versa. There are also many Amazigh words in Morr dialect

as in sarot: tasarout: key

[ceniboy]

I found the how are you interesting because my best friend is Moroccan Jewish and his family say "'as l-khabrk?" is this used at all in "muslim" Moroccan Arabic? Also, his family call their language "Mughrabiya Dyalna" is this similar to what Muslim Morrocans call their Arabic?

[usb333]

@ceniboy

I believe religion doesn't interfere with language. You can take Yemini Jews as an example. or Egyptian Christians. or Iraqi Jews. they are not so different from regular Muslim Arabic. They can understand eachother perfectly. As for "Mughrabiya Dyalna", it litterly means "Our Morocan" so i'd guess they're refering to Jews' dialect. I don't really know. I'm not Morocan. BTW what did "'as l-khabrk?" mean?

[ceniboy]

'as l-khbark" means how are you...its written عس لخبرك؟, please dont say that if somebody said this in Jordan for example that they would be understood...

[usb333]

i didn't say that :)

[lahjat]

it's definitely not more different than italian and spanish; many of the dialects have commonalities; what throws off the north african for you is the pronunciation, the speed, and most importantly the stress patterns

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

Well, it could be almost like another language in terms of the gap between say Morrocan style Arabic and say Arabic from Jordan. It might be as big of a difference between say Spanish and French or French and Italian. I am not sure, but we don't know these things because people don't want to look at the dialects in detail and how they differ. Of course, you are right that the stress is very important, but also its clear there are so many different words used, but someone with practice can

[lahjat]

actually people do study this (dialects and how they differ) lol I'm one of them I've studied with an arabic dialectologist; they are not that different; and trust me the dialects are more similar than they are different; and the different words used are the high frequency words ; like "to want" stay tuned for my channel hopefully i'll be able to highlight some of these things; take care

[SaraxBella]

Yup! Moroccans can understand others dialect, but usually others cannot understand Moroccan dialect.

It has a lot of french words and stuff mixed up in it.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

I can understand what he is saying in this video. It's interesting how he adds "Shu Ismeetik".  He also uses 3am instead of sanna for one's age. I think if I studied the dialect, I would understand. Moroccan Arabic has a lot of Berber pronunciation it is said. That makes sense. There is also some Bedouin historical influence along with French and Spanish. I respect Moroccan people. My students go to Morocco to learn Arabic, but they are familiar with Egyptian and Syrian, not Maghreb Arabic

[Elearning123]

Well, it's so normal that the arabic of north africa is different then the one in the middle east because the origin of arabic is in what we call it today "ARABIA" gulf countries. Even these countries don't speak the classical arabic as it is in quran! So, it's influenced by turkish and persian! and you can add to gulf ppl middle east ppl as well! in Morocco, we use some spanish,French, portuguese and most importantly, AMAZIGH accent that had an enormous impact on the way moroccans speak

[Elany13]

I don't think so. Lebanese people understand Tunisian people for example but they don't understand Iraqis or Yemenis.

Its a stereotype to say that north african dialect is different , actually it has alot of relation with bedouin dialects and egyptian.

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

I am going based on my experience. I can't really understand Moroccans and Algerians. It's very difficult for me. I have no experience with Tunisians to say how difficult would be. I have no real trouble understanding Egyptians. The gap is not as huge between Egypt and say Jordan or Syria. Every place has its own history and dialect. Nothing wrong with that and its beautiful people.

[Elany13]

If you'll try more on algerian dialect , you'll see its not that different. jordan/syria and a bit egyptian are related , but try yemeni or iraqi or saudi dialect , you'll its as different as moroccan. eitherway , that's allright ;) lol

[sayonariii]

Hi I'm moroccan, Moroccan is different that traditional arabic & its too fast, hard to learn it

kidayr ?(masculine)= how r u ?

[OhSooRandommOriginal]

[BlackJackJoker90]

[SaraxBella]

its not fast its the normal speed of speaking

[Belson20]

It's like arabic with the first vowels cut.

Do you have a difference between second person feminin and masculin like in classic arabic(énti,énta)?

[ewhitsma]

I kind of disagree with bato2, but the actual Arabic words would be nice to see.

[irishecker]

i agree with bato2, but thanks for uploading, still very helpful!
