🌙 Ramadan Day 3 — What to Say in Moroccan Darija This Ramadan
Salam everyone! 👋
We're already on Day 3 of Ramadan — how is your fasting going? 💪
Whether you're fasting or just celebrating alongside your Moroccan friends and family, today is the perfect day to level up your Darija with the phrases Moroccans are literally saying right now in the streets, homes, and mosques of Morocco. 🕌
Let's go! 👇
🌅 Greetings You Should Be Using RIGHT NOW
It's Day 3 — if you haven't used these yet, start today!
➡️ "Ramadan Mubarak" — Blessed Ramadan
➡️ "Ramadan Karim" — Generous Ramadan
When someone says it to you, reply:
➡️ "3washar mubarika" — May your ten days be blessed
➡️ "3lina w 3lik" — Same blessings upon us and you
💡 "3washar mubarika" is the reply that will make every Moroccan stop and say "Wait… you actually know Darija?!" — use it today!
🍵 This Morning at Suhoor
Did you wake up for suhoor today? Here's what Moroccans were saying at the table before Fajr:
👉 "Wash saym lyoma?" — Are you fasting today? (to a man)
👉 "Wash sayma lyoma?" — Are you fasting today? (to a woman)
👉 "Ah, ana saym" — Yes, I'm fasting (man)
👉 "Ah, ana sayma" — Yes, I'm fasting (woman)
👉 "Saha sehourek" — May your suhoor be blessed
🍲 Tonight at Iftar — Don't Miss These
The adan is about to sound, the harira is steaming, the chbakiya is on the table… here's everything you need to say tonight:
The moment you sit down:
👉 "Bismillah" — In the name of God (say this before you eat — always)
To wish the people around you:
👉 "Saha ftourek" — Enjoy your iftar
👉 "Bsa7a o ra7a" — Health and rest to you
👉 "Ftour mubarak" — Blessed iftar
After the meal:
👉 "L7amdullah" — Praise be to God
👉 "Allah yta9bal" — May God accept your fast
-Allah Y-ta9abal siyamak (for a male)
-Allah Y-ta9abal siyamik (for a female)
-Allah Y-ta9abal siyamkom (plural/polite)
❤️ If you're at a Moroccan household tonight — saying "Bismillah" before eating and "L7amdullah" after will make the whole family adore you. Guaranteed.
🌙 This Evening After Iftar
As the night settles in and families head to Tarawih prayers, these are the phrases filling the air across Morocco right now:

👉 "Allah ysama7 lina" — May God forgive us
