Oranges -> letchin -> ‘la Chine’
I just realized something funny,…. In char9-chamali we call oranges = ‘letchin’ (phonetically) ( I might be wrong since i’m a zmig, so that’s the word me and the fam use for it LOL)
Oranges originated from china and in french china is ‘la Chine’. Knowing that darija contains french words.
I thought it was funny to share since this crossed my mind all of a sudden. Lmao

I want to learn about my imazighen side
As salamu alaykum
I am a student from the Netherlands who's half Dutch and half Moroccan. Unfortunately my dad never thought me the language and I've never been there. My family comes from a city close to Nador. I want to learn more about my culture and what it means to be imazighen. It would be great if there's someone who wants to chat eith me about it or if people want to share their experiences or tell me about how they live!
Thank you in advance ♡

Conditions and terms : easy walkthrough
So you are about to buy some products online on some website or you’re gonna start using a new social media app. And you need to accept the conditions and terms of that website before using their services. Here is an easy walkthrough (there are other things that can be included, but I’m just giving an easy example).
First of all, you will always find sections, and now I’m gonna only talk about the sections that matter to you or you should care about.
1. Data Use and Privacy
I honestly don’t really care about my data, but it depends on your situation. For example, if you’re a content creator, some apps or websites include terms that let them use everything you publish as their own. By using their services, you agree and consent to this. It’s called Content Ownership and Licensing.
Let me give you some examples:
• Facebook tracks your activities both on and off the platform, including browsing history, location, and interactions with third-party websites through tools like Facebook Login or Pixel integrations.
• TikTok not only tracks your videos but also monitors your typing behavior. They even access your clipboard. Imagine copying a password or private text—they can see it.
• Snapchat: Ever used a funny filter? Well, those pictures are not fully yours anymore. Snapchat can technically use them in ads without your consent. So, your selfie could end up promoting a random product!
2. Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction
Okay, this part is usually super hard to read because they use technical terms on purpose. It basically explains how any issues will be resolved and under what legal system.
For example:
• Facebook requires disputes to be resolved under California law. So if you live outside the U.S., good luck dealing with that—it’s almost impossible.
• Amazon forces you into arbitration instead of court. This means no lawyers, no public trial, and less power for you. It’s designed to protect them, not you.
3. Community Standards and Account Termination
This is about what you can and can’t do. If you violate their rules, they can remove your content or even ban you.
Examples:
• YouTube has a strict strike system. If your video gets flagged (even unfairly), you get a strike. Three strikes, and your channel is permanently deleted. Imagine years of work gone because of one misunderstanding.
• Instagram might ban you for using certain hashtags or sharing copyrighted content, even if you didn’t know it was against their rules.
4. Ads and Sponsored Content
Most platforms rely on ads for money, and they use your data to make those ads super specific.
• Facebook tracks what you do outside the app, so if you search for “new shoes” on another website, guess what? You’ll see shoe ads on Facebook.
• Snapchat might use your Snaps (even private ones) to create ads. Imagine sending a picture to a friend, and later seeing it in an ad without your knowledge.
So yeah, those are just some of the important sections you should look at before agreeing to any terms and conditions. Honestly, most people don’t read these, but at least now you know the basics and won’t get surprised later.

Autism in morocco?
Hello guys I am half moroccan and live in the uk. I am autistic and was just wondering how autism is viewed in morocco and how those of you with autism find living in morocco and the culture.
Asking because I find moroccan culture very uncomfortable in certain ways. Everybody is very touchy feely and people are very social and outgoing compared to here in england. I can hide my autism very well in england as english culture is very standoffish and cold in that sense. In morocco my autism is a lot more noticable to everyday normal people.
In morocco I have a lot more sensory overloads especially in casablanca as the whole city is alive and moving all the time.

Besoin de conseils pour obtenir un permis de travail en Belgique
Quelqu’un ici a-t-il déjà obtenu un permis de travail en Belgique ? Je suis récemment diplômé et j’ai été accepté pour un poste dans une startup en Belgique. Cependant, après avoir entamé les démarches d’intégration, l’entreprise m’a informé qu’il serait très compliqué de me faire venir. Cela impliquerait beaucoup de temps, des frais élevés, et l’intervention d’un avocat.
Ils m’ont demandé de chercher de mon côté s’il existe des solutions possibles.
Auriez-vous des conseils ou des pistes à me suggérer, sachant que je suis titulaire d’un diplôme français ?

Should I go back to Morocco?
I’m a Moroccan, I’m 19 years old I’ve been here in Canada for two years, I came to Toronto at 17 and I have one more year left to graduate, I hate it here, first year I came I cried every night, I feel so depressed, I wanna go back to Morocco but I’m not sure if I should… it’s a really nice country but I’m not sure, I miss my home, I miss everything. Here studies are expensive, rent is expensive, groceries are expensive, everything is expensive, I feel extremely stressed and sad. People told me it’s normal to feel like that at first but you’ll like it after a few months, it’s been 2 years, I still hate it..
I really want opinions from a Moroccan living in Canada or Toronto specifically, or even just abroad in general. Idk what to do, should I go back to Morocco after finishing? Or should I just move cities? Or what should I do? I can’t help but it’s making me miserable

Fear of the authorities and generational trauma in morocco
So lately, I’ve been posting a lot on Reddit about laws and rights. While many people found it helpful and interesting, others showed an extreme fear of authorities and the police. I wanted to understand why, and here’s what I found:
1 . Generational or Collective Trauma:
As many know, Morocco was colonized by the French for years. During that period, they ruled Morocco with extreme brutality—mass killings, rapes, and violent suppression. One of their main tools for enforcing control was the police. After Morocco gained independence, things didn’t change much for most Moroccans. The new rulers had to deal with a lot of instability and often used extreme measures, especially through what we call “the Makhzen.”
This long history of violence and repression left a generational trauma in us. Even though most of us didn’t live through these events directly, they left a scar on our collective mind as Moroccans. Studies have shown that trauma can pass through generations, shaping how people view authority and power.
2. Paranoia and Distrust in the Government and Laws:
Another factor is paranoia and distrust—both in the government and in ourselves. While posting on Reddit, many people responded aggressively to the idea of change. For example, when I explained that recording the police is legal and cited a judgment from the highest court in Morocco, most people just refused to believe it. Some even denied it outright.
This reaction shows two things:
• We don’t trust the system. Many Moroccans believe that laws don’t work because of corruption. Instead of thinking about what the law says, they rely on what they’ve seen or experienced, which is usually injustice.
• We don’t know enough about our rights. Yes, corruption exists, but ignorance makes it worse. If people understood their rights and knew how to defend them, they’d realize that knowledge is a powerful weapon.
3. Lack of Education:
When I say this, I know it might offend some people, but hear me out. It’s not that we’re stupid or don’t have knowledge ,it’s that we lack education in how to process and understand information. For example, when you tell someone, “You can do this,” many will deny it because that’s easier for their ego.
Someone who truly understands reality knows that they don’t know everything and is always ready to learn. Unfortunately, most people here aren’t taught how to think critically or how to be open to new ideas. This makes it harder to break out of the cycle of fear and distrust.

Simple Explanation about Darija slangs for money
Hey,
I recently moved to live in Morocco, and I noticed that even the main currency of trading is Dirham, but you can hear different terms and implicit conversion rates in the local market and among people.
For example, I was buying fish, and instead of telling me that it costs 22 Dirham, he told me 440, even without saying Riyal :D But I get used to it after a while.
Now I am hearing Million, and I figured it's neither 1M riyal, nor 1M dirham. What do they mean when saying a million?
Also if there are other common slangs for currency, please tell me : )

Moving Iowa USA to Morocco
My immediate family immigrated from the Casablanca region to Iowa in the 1990s. My extended family is primarily from Marrakesh and most of my relatives still live there.
After visiting a few times for extended stays, I am ready to leave the States for a few years. My primary educational background does not leave many remote work options (I’m a social worker), so I’m trying to save as much as possible before the move to avoid running out of funds while job hunting in whatever city or town I end up.
I’ve always thought have $6000 USD to get me by for 3 months would be enough for housing, transport, and essentials. Am I being naive?
So, with two adults and two cats: what’s the amount we should save to be successful in the transition without including airfare? We are barely scraping by in Iowa with minimum wage at $7.25/hour and rent being $900/month for a 600 sq ft apartment. I want a better quality of life, primarily for work-life balance and to be near family. A short, two three year adventure with the potential of always moving back if we’d like. I’ve asked family, and they all seem to think the ability to save hoards of money in the US is still easily obtainable so they don’t take me seriously when I say this is going to take some budgeting.
TL;DR: how much USD should two adults moving US to Morocco (one with Moroccan citizenship) save to live comfortably for a few months while finding work in Morocco? Shukran

Does Morocco have a moral compass? Shared values? A vision of its ideal future?
Having travelled a bit around the world, one thing that struck me most when talking with most Moroccans is the near-absense of strong and shared values in most of them, compared to their fellow humans around the globe.
Most Moroccans say their country would strive if they had more of education, but they had NO clearly defined goal to strive for in the future, NO agreed-upon vision of what the ideal country would look like, beyond vague concepts. Nothing to give substance to any parental or school education program.
Practising muslims are shunned as extremists, proud liberals are shunned as decadents, fervent nationalists are shunned as re*ards.
You end up with most people falling somewhere between the three, refusing to choose a side, with no strong values to push them to give their best.
In this environment also thrive those who proudly have no moral compass or empathy and will commit crime with impunity.
What should parents tell their kids is good or bad? When the majority of adults themselves would start sputtering 2 seconds into any question about what they truly believe in?
Where is the country headed and where should it strive to go?
