hello,
some funny things about being Moroccan grinning smiley
8) There was no such a thing as a car seat for children and you could sit in the front next to your dad at age 3.
9) If you’re a girl, you’ve been harassed by random guys who would not stop at just staring. 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. E.g.: 10 drahem= alf frank= myatayn rial
15) In elementary school, the teacher would make sure two people of the oppostie sex would sit next to one another (And somewhere it bugged you)... Later, it was totally fine and even something you looked forward to sometimes!
16) When your grand parents swear they saw King Mohammed V in the moon
When all yoghourts are called DANOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUNE
When at least one ofyour cousins lives in europe, and the rest of them want to''burn'' to the other side
When you know the word coming after this one:
TIKCHBILA ...
you put the seat belt on 10 sec befor you c the cops.
When you have a spot on your arm (called "jelba"winking smiley
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
