i think that translating the joke made it lose its funny aspect... its very tricky to translate jokes btw.

nice to meet you too

Yes I agree. Sometimes there should be cultural knowledge cause jokes often satirizes something of its own people which they only are aware of.
That's why I got many "sa3ayda" jokes but I think no1 would see it funny because they are totally different from Moroccans.

It's my pleasure pal. Thanks

say what, say what! wah wah ya boiiii

I've read some more and yeah I've found familiar ones espicially those about "wa7ed mkla'7"
Do you know the joke (or rather ba3ta) that says "marra wa7ed, etneen, talata...." in Moroccan: "hada wa7ed, joj, tlata....." [This can't be translated at allll]

Alright, let me share this one from your site:
hado rba3 dyal lemkalkheen san3o tobees kaymshy bel3ard bash kolhom yerkabo lqodam
(Four stupid guys made a bus to be moved crosswise so that they would all ride at the front)

chokran

Thanks sis. elsharaf leena

Here a joke I liked: (correction in transcription &/or translation is so welcomed [& needed])
hado joj drari t3atlo 3al madrsa. swolhom lm3lem: 3lach t3tlto?
qal leh wa7ed: ra7 ta7et leya 10 drahem
w howa yesowl eltani: wnta malk?
qal leh lakhor: rah kont dayer rjli 3leha

(2 students went late to the school. Their teacher asked them: why did you come late?
one of them said: 10 drahem fell from me
and then he asked the second: and you?
the second student said: I was putting my foot on it)

yalla ed7ako
