About this word in Darija
L-3a2ila, l-walidin — family vocabulary in Darija.
Darija (الدارجة) is Moroccan Arabic — the everyday spoken language of 40 million Moroccans. Unlike Modern Standard Arabic, it's rarely written down and draws heavily on French, Spanish, and Amazigh vocabulary. Learning how to say “family” the way Moroccans actually say it — with the right pronunciation, register, and cultural context — is the difference between sounding like a textbook and sounding like you belong.
Every entry on Everyday Darija includes Arabic script, romanized pronunciation, English and French translations, and cultural notes where they matter. Use the search above to explore related terms, or browse by category below.
