well ok zayn/zin means beauty, but in this case it was said to someone, ie. "chukran a zayn" ... & the person's name wasn't zayn, im sure of it. sooo back to my Q, if you wanna say the same thing to a girl, can you still say "a zin/zayn" or do you need to add the tamer bouta? "zayna/zina" ??

thanks guys

It's the same, u can say zin zein or zayn to both boys & girls. no zina for girls, it's literally right, but doesn't sound cool especially in Darija, because zin is masculin noun, so it doesn't make sense to call a girl zina just cuz she's feminin.

clear a zayn ?

PS: zayn is mostly said in Shamaly accent.

ok thanks bro that makes sense, i saw a tanjawi say it

LOL you're so moroccanized... even for the jokes. (i.e. the ologie ending)

Hate that word, it sounds nasty.
