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 ÙˆØ§ØØ¯ 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
