The Rule for Counting from 11 to 19 in Moroccan Arabic

To count 11 to 19 things in Moroccan Arabic, we use the following formula:

Number + “r” suffix + indefinite singular noun.

Examples:

  • 12 books: Tenashr ktab: طْناشر كتاب
  • 18 points: Tementashr noqta: تنمطاشر نقطة
  • 15 boys: Khemstashr weld: خمسطاشر ولد

The “r” suffix simply serves the purpose of a smooth transition between the number and the noun.

Due to regional Moroccan accent differences, some people tend to pronounce the “r” suffix as an “l”.
