Plurals in Moroccan Arabic

Regular Plurals:

To form the plural, we regularly add (în) to a masculine word, and (ât) to a feminine one.

Broken Plurals:

As there are no rules for broken plurals, you just need to learn them by heart.

Adjectives:

It’s very usual to use the masculine plural form of adjectives for feminine as well.

Examples:

– Girl = bnt, – Little girls (Bnât Sghâr بْنات صْغار), or very rarely (bnât Sghârât

بْنات صْغارات ).

– Skirt = Sâya صايا – Long skirts (Sâyât Twâl صَايات طْوال ).

– Shirt = qamîja قميجة – New shirts (Qwâmj jdâd قْوامج جْداد).
