Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/moroccan-arabic Moroccan Arabic] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn how to use the verb "have" in Moroccan Arabic. We will look at the different forms of the verb and how it is used in different contexts. We will also look at some examples of how to use the verb in a sentence. So let's get started! __TOC__


== Introduction ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/moroccan-arabic Moroccan Arabic] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use "have" in Moroccan Arabic. "Have" can be translated into "كينعني" (kayna'ni) or "عندي" (andi), and it's an important verb to know to talk about possession or to form the present perfect tense.
The verb "have" is an important verb in Moroccan Arabic. It is used to express possession, ownership, or responsibility. It can also be used to express a feeling or emotion. In this lesson, we will look at the different forms of the verb and how it is used in different contexts.  


== Forms of the Verb ==
__TOC__
The verb "have" has two forms in Moroccan Arabic:
* ''ḥab'' (حَبْ)
* ''ḥabu'' (حَبُ)


The form ''ḥab'' is used when the subject of the sentence is singular, and the form ''ḥabu'' is used when the subject of the sentence is plural.

== "Have" as a Possessive Verb ==
 
In Moroccan Arabic, "have" is often used as a possessive verb. There are two forms:
* كينعني (kayna'ni)
* عندي (andi)
 
Both forms mean "to have" and can be used interchangeably in different situations. They are mostly used to talk about things you own or possess.
 
Here are some examples of how to use "have" in Moroccan Arabic:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Moroccan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Moroccan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| كاينعني سيارة || kayna'ni syara || I have a car
|-
|-
| ''ḥab l-ḥayat'' || /ħab l-ħajat/ || I have life
| عندي شقة في الدار البيضاء || andi shqat fiddar lbida || I have an apartment in Casablanca
|-
|-
| ''ḥabu l-ḥayat'' || /ħabu l-ħajat/ || We have life
| كاينعني مكتب ديالي || kayna'ni maktab dyali || I have my office
|}
|}


== Usage ==
Notice that the word order is different in Moroccan Arabic than in English. In English, we say "I have a car," but in Moroccan Arabic, we say "kayna'ni syara" (have-I car).
The verb "have" is used to express possession, ownership, or responsibility. It can also be used to express a feeling or emotion.
 
Let's practice with a dialogue:
 
* Person 1: عندك شي طيور؟ (andi shi tyur?) (Do you have any birds?)
* Person 2: كاينعني حوت ديال طيور || kayna'ni hwat dyal tyur || I have a flock of birds
 
Notice that Person 2 used "kayna'ni", and not "andi", to talk about possession of birds. In this case, both forms are correct, but "kayna'ni" is more commonly used for talking about a group of things.
 
== "Have" to Form the Present Perfect Tense ==
 
In Moroccan Arabic, we use "have" to form the present perfect tense. The present perfect is used to talk about actions that happened in the past but are still relevant or have an impact on the present.
 
To form the present perfect tense in Moroccan Arabic, we use the following structure:
* Subject + verb "kayna'ni" or "3endy" + past participle
 
Here are some examples of how to use "have" to form the present perfect tense in Moroccan Arabic:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Moroccan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| كاينعني شريت التذكرة || kayna'ni shrit attazkira || I have bought the ticket
|-
| عندي درت الواجب ديالي || andi drt elwajib dyali || I have done my homework
|-
| كاينعني فطرت سمك ديال البحر || kayna'ni ftart smak dyal lb7ar || I have eaten sea fish
|}


=== Examples ===
Notice that the main verb is in the past participle form. In Moroccan Arabic, past participles are formed by adding "-ي" (-i) to the end of a verb's infinitive form.
* Person 1: ''Ḥab l-ḥayat.'' (/ħab l-ħajat/) (I have life.)
* Person 2: ''Ḥabu l-ḥayat.'' (/ħabu l-ħajat/) (We have life.)
* Person 1: ''Ḥab l-ḥub.'' (/ħab l-ħub/) (I have love.)
* Person 2: ''Ḥabu l-ḥub.'' (/ħabu l-ħub/) (We have love.)


The verb "have" can also be used to express a feeling or emotion.
Let's practice with a dialogue:


=== Examples ===
* Person 1: واش غادي تدوز الامتحان؟ (wash ghadi tdwz l'emt7an?) (Are you going to pass the exam?)
* Person 1: ''Ḥab l-ḥub.'' (/ħab l-ħub/) (I have love.)  
* Person 2: كاينعني درت كلشي ديال اللي كان غير باغي يخليني نتفوق || kayna'ni drt klshi dyal lli kan ghir baghi ykhlini ntfawwq || I have done everything I could to excel
* Person 2: ''Ḥabu l-ḥub.'' (/ħabu l-ħub/) (We have love.)
* Person 1: ''Ḥab l-ḥuzn.'' (/ħab l-ħuzn/) (I have sadness.)
* Person 2: ''Ḥabu l-ḥuzn.'' (/ħabu l-ħuzn/) (We have sadness.)

Moroccan Arabic Grammar - How to Use "Have"

Hi Moroccan Arabic learners! 😊
In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use "have" in Moroccan Arabic. "Have" can be translated into "كينعني" (kayna'ni) or "عندي" (andi), and it's an important verb to know to talk about possession or to form the present perfect tense.


Consider exploring these related pages after completing this lesson: How to use “there to be” in Moroccan Arabic & Formation of Passive Constructions.

"Have" as a Possessive Verb[edit | edit source]

In Moroccan Arabic, "have" is often used as a possessive verb. There are two forms:

  • كينعني (kayna'ni)
  • عندي (andi)

Both forms mean "to have" and can be used interchangeably in different situations. They are mostly used to talk about things you own or possess.

Here are some examples of how to use "have" in Moroccan Arabic:

Moroccan Arabic Pronunciation English
كاينعني سيارة kayna'ni syara I have a car
عندي شقة في الدار البيضاء andi shqat fiddar lbida I have an apartment in Casablanca
كاينعني مكتب ديالي kayna'ni maktab dyali I have my office

Notice that the word order is different in Moroccan Arabic than in English. In English, we say "I have a car," but in Moroccan Arabic, we say "kayna'ni syara" (have-I car).

Let's practice with a dialogue:

  • Person 1: عندك شي طيور؟ (andi shi tyur?) (Do you have any birds?)
  • Person 2: كاينعني حوت ديال طيور || kayna'ni hwat dyal tyur || I have a flock of birds

Notice that Person 2 used "kayna'ni", and not "andi", to talk about possession of birds. In this case, both forms are correct, but "kayna'ni" is more commonly used for talking about a group of things.

"Have" to Form the Present Perfect Tense[edit | edit source]

In Moroccan Arabic, we use "have" to form the present perfect tense. The present perfect is used to talk about actions that happened in the past but are still relevant or have an impact on the present.

To form the present perfect tense in Moroccan Arabic, we use the following structure:

  • Subject + verb "kayna'ni" or "3endy" + past participle

Here are some examples of how to use "have" to form the present perfect tense in Moroccan Arabic:

Moroccan Arabic Pronunciation English
كاينعني شريت التذكرة kayna'ni shrit attazkira I have bought the ticket
عندي درت الواجب ديالي andi drt elwajib dyali I have done my homework
كاينعني فطرت سمك ديال البحر kayna'ni ftart smak dyal lb7ar I have eaten sea fish

Notice that the main verb is in the past participle form. In Moroccan Arabic, past participles are formed by adding "-ي" (-i) to the end of a verb's infinitive form.

Let's practice with a dialogue:

  • Person 1: واش غادي تدوز الامتحان؟ (wash ghadi tdwz l'emt7an?) (Are you going to pass the exam?)
  • Person 2: كاينعني درت كلشي ديال اللي كان غير باغي يخليني نتفوق || kayna'ni drt klshi dyal lli kan ghir baghi ykhlini ntfawwq || I have done everything I could to excel
