The general rule for counting in Darija:

To use those numbers in sentences now, here is the general rule to count a (thing):

1- the thing

2 + things

From 2 to 10 + d (of) + the things

From 11 to the infinite + thing

In the third rule d + l (of + the) sound almost like the Spanish del.

Examples:

Banane = banâna بَنانة, Bananes = banânât بنانات, la banane = lbanana لبَنانة

1 banane = wâ7d lbanâna واحد لْبنانة

2 bananes = jôj banânât جوج بنانات

3 bananes = tlala d lbanânât تلاتة د لبانانات

5 bananes = khmsa d lbanânât خمسة د لبانانات

15 bananes = khmstâshr banâna خمسطاشر بنانة

100 bananes = miyyat banâna. مية بنانة
