Hello. I was hoping someone could translate the English phrase ‘Home sweet home’
Speak Moroccan
We don't have an equivalent in Moroccan Darija for "home, sweet home". The closest you can get is probably "ma kayn ma 7sen men dari", which literally translates to: "there is nothing better than my house".
