this is a video i found in youtube , its a speakmoroccan video
i have just a few remarks about it

the first color '' beige '' isnt pronouced well , for those who speak french , just pronounce it like the french way ... im not offendin this guy in the video , but ur biiiiijj sounds bad

after he said about purple = banafsaji which is fus7a , in darija its 9ou9i

lol then he said "fdi" to silver , ive never used this one lol , that seems retarded lol , if someone tells me fdi i will say duuuuuuuuuuuuuude r u d hell actin in a mexican serie looolll
generally ppl use '' metalisÃ© " for silver

Tirkwa hhhhhh good one , it is actually tUrkwa with a french U

for dark and light u can use also meghmou9 and meftou7

USERS BEWARE: The post above contains harmful fragments of the casa accent.

Madridista, it's probably just a regional thing, everyone has their own accent.. thanks for the extra info but not everyone is a biiiiiiij straight outta casa big_smile

LallaAïcha · 2009-10-02 06:04:56

hahaha what's so wrong about tirkwa? maybe YOUR way of saying it is the weird one!!! anyway for me anything that has a lot of rrrr's and a lot of 99999's is fiiiine darija lol

Madridista · 2009-10-02 16:46:01

the "turkoi" is a french word , and not always we need to change some vocals in a french word to adapt it to darija :d
im gonna tell u sth ,if someone on TV say ''tIrkwa'' as he said it this guy ,its gonna be to make ppl laugh
be sure of that looolll

Thank you for your feedback, Madridista. I think that it's necessary to clear up a number of things.

1- The man in the video did a wonderful job. He is not even a member of the forum, and he was extremely nice to just stand up and volunteer for the first audio. You can notice that no one else did as good. So first and foremost, all we can tell the man is a big thank you, and anything related to the content is on us.

2- For beige, I was told that indeed it's mostly said baaj, and not beej. I say it as beej, and so do all shopkeepers in my area. They also say blanc cassÃ© for all degrees of beige.

3- Banafsaji is indeed fos7a, but it's more common than qouqi.

4- MÃ©talisÃ© might be used when you're talking about cars, I'd never tell a shopkeeper "get me a shirt... mÃ©talisÃ©". Too French. I prefer a fos7a word than a French one.

5- When speaking in Darija, old Moroccan people do not say the French U, they either turn it into ou or i. Tirkwa is perfectly fine to me.

Anyways, my point is that most of the colors you commented on seem perfectly well said to me. As LA said, it's mostly a matter of regions and accents. I mentioned in the video description where the man is from, for people to compare accents.

That said, all remarks are most welcome, and it's always interesting to hear from Moroccans from different regions of Morocco.

first of all , i must say too that d guy did a wonderful job smile , this is why i commented only few colors
the others were goooooood
well admin , i can accept from u the beej , the metalisÃ© thing and also the U for old ppl
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut banafsaji is more common than 9ou9i yikes come ooooooooonnn duuude

anyway , what im gonna do now is sendin this video to a few darija natives and ask them about their remarks ... if they say d same thing as i did big_smile i will be happy coz i wont go to a psychiatrist , coz i notice that im d only one here to be ok with those remarks

thnx Admin

After giving banafsaji a second thought, I may say that mauve is way more popular than qouqi.

Feel free to share with us the feedback you get from other native speakers. They are even more than welcome to do their own version of the audio, or even better, volunteer for other videos. By the way, we do provide the content and the video, volunteers only have to record the audio.

PS: I will not go to a "psychiatrist" though just because your friends will say the same thing about qouqi.
