Re: translate text please

Woah... Is this a Moroccan writing this? Or you tried to transcribe something you heard?
Anyways, this looks like "ki raki dayra a zina dyali", and it means "how are you, my beautiful?"

You figured out just after reading a few lessons? Hats off! You'll probably rock if you study harder smile.
And well, his transcription is quite weird in fact, but Moroccans who were brought up abroad do not transcribe properly somehow...

Ki raki is rather Algerian in fact wink.

You don't have to make the same request twice. I saw your other post smile. If I don't reply there, someone else will probably do it. Just be patient smile.
