| Good willing, hopefully |

|
| In the name of God (said when starting to eat or drink, paying someone, or beginning a trip) |
بسمِ الله bsmillah
|
| Thank God (a positive or neutral response to كيداير/ة؟ or to news) |
حمدلله HəmdLLah
|
| May God assist you (used to say good-bye) |
الله يعاونك LLah iˁawnk
|
| May God give you peace (used to say good-bye) |
الله يهنّيك LLah ihnnik
|
| God bless you (used to say thanks) |
بارك اللهُ فيك bark LLahu fik

This page is a working sample unit from a set of unpublished materials that are still in development. These web-based materials allow Moroccan colloquial Arabic to be taught in courses that use the Al‑Kitaab textbook series. This single-unit sample is meant to showcase some of the design choices that inform the materials; it is not intended for classroom use, nor is it representative of a final product. Further inquiries can be directed to Mike Turner. Thank you!
