What locals actually say

How are you?

واش راك؟

“Wash rak” is pure Algerian. Egyptians say “izzayak” and MSA says “kayfa haluk”; three different worlds under one language name.

Everything's fine.

كلش مليح

“Mlih” is the Maghrebi good. The Egyptian “kwayyis” is rarely heard in Algiers.

I'll call you.

نعيطلك

Darja uses the verb “ayyet” for calling someone. The MSA “ittasala” sounds like paperwork.

How much does this cost?

Ch7al ydir hada?

Ch7al is the Algerian Darja price question, while ydir literally means “it makes” and is used for asking what something costs.

Where is the nearest pharmacy?

Win kayna l-pharmacie li qriba?

Win kayna uses the Darja location construction with feminine agreement, and pharmacie is a natural French loan in Algerian speech.

This couscous is really delicious.

Had الكسكس بنين بزاف.

Bنين means tasty in Algerian Darja, and بزاف intensifies it as “very” or “really.”

My mother is at home.

Yemma rahi فالدار.

Yemma is the everyday Algerian word for mother, while rahi marks feminine presence or state in Darja.

It is very cold today.

Lyoum bard بزاف.

Lyoum means “today,” and بزاف is the characteristic Algerian Darja intensifier meaning “a lot” or “very.”
