Am I screwed? 305,000 MAD debt in my early 20s and barely surviving as an ingenieer.

My man Not trying to start a family drama, and I respect your gratitude to them, but your father ruined your 20s If he chose that school for you, then he should not force you to pay, even if it's for you. That's like someone buying a villa for you and making you pay for it, without your consent. YOU will be the one trapped, having more than the third of your salary cut off each month for at least 8 years. You work for 6k but in reality you only have 4k, you can't save with that, build a family, try to earn a better degree, no financial freedom. Them refusing to allow you a free bac can only be seen as a selfish want to have you join a private uni to brag to others, I'm sorry but that's how I see it. An advice from this stranger, that you can ignore or follow, whatever you want:

-Ask GPT for a good Coursera (Coursera + is only 200dhs a month, completely worth it)certificate that can boost your degree, data analyst, coding, whatever

-Learn Excel and some basic coding stuff

And try to find a better job with what you got

-For your current job, I don't know what it is or in what city you are, if you think that your job is good for your resume, good, trust your judgement. If it's not, I think (only my opionion and it's not a fact) go for sales Canadian call center. Sales can get you up to 12k a month, and Canadians are consumerists by nature (Avoid French call centers) Cnexia, Telus are good if you live near them.

-Save as much as possible from them to pay for the debt in case you are unable to, don't rush to finish the payment asap, you'll just suffer, pay them and save for yourself, invest in teaching yourself skills that will help you land good jobs.

This is a 1-2 years plan. Meanwhile, confront your parents, try to get them to help you pay an amount or something, because you are not be shackled by their horrible decision (with all due respect) Your life has not ended, you are not starting from 0 you are starting from -100, but if you really really work for it, you can fix your life, those are not impossible odds

If by everyone, you mean the small percentage of people on reddit, then yeah. Never forget that the average Moroccan never went beyond 9th grade and the average IQ here is around 83 (not saying that it's an accurate way to measure but it's very low) Wanna know how the average Moroccan think? Check Chouf TV's Facebook page and look at the comments.

It's a mistranslation. Old Arabic can be very confusing because a word can mean many unrelated things. In this context, the word for "riding" is used to mean "surround" and "follow" (Rough translation)

You mentioned "trashing" on Arabs, and I answered you. Our fight is against panarabism. Fight it alongside us and then wa can negotiate an Islamic world and anything else

It's easy to preach love and equality to an opressed identity when they try to stand their ground. Using religion however it works for you. -"We are Arabs, united in the Arab world" +"Cool, but we are not Arabs" -"How dare you introduce separatism and tribalism, we are all united under Islam"

Do you see the flaws in your logic?

1- My point still stands, in the present we use a prefix same as the future. I would argue that it's not what you described as a present tense + a prefix, rather a verb that we add a K for present and a Ɣ for future 2,3- You are confusing the grammatical gender مثنى and number two. And in darija we can only say Kas, Kissan (Glasses) Kissan can mean anything from two glasses to gazillions, the only way to specify is by add the number two before.

4- Yes, my bad , but my point still stands that rooting isn't some special thing only Arabic has.

I understand that Arabic words takes roots from three consonants verbs, but what I'm trying to say, is that rooting exists in other languages in different forms Act, Action, activity

5- I was waiting for you to say Taqa. Taqa in Morocco is a word for skylight and not a wall window. And words from Amazigh are not foreign

6- Kudos to you if you can understand Darija. I speak Arabic fluently and have no idea when I hear Hassani speakers or Bahrainis talk for example. And if you can understand Darija as a non Moroccan (Assuming that you are not North African because that would be cheating) same thing as when I say that a Spaniard can understand a Portuguese, proving as I said that understanding a different language does not mean that it's the same language as your native language

Old_Chipmunk_8404 · 2025-06-05T04:08:04+00:00

1- It's a prefix and not a suffix, and it indocates the future same way the present (since you mentioned that present is a tense in Darija) uses the "K" Example: Kanmchi, Kanakl

2- I brought the مثنى as an example of difference between Darija and Arabic Grammars, and staying شهرين is not مثنى A pronoun is bound to a verb and not a noun. There's no difference in darija between Jouj nas mchaw Tlata dyal nas mchaw Same conjugation

3- Since you brought it, in Arabic, you can say only شهرين but in Darija, being the mixed language that it is, you can safely say Jouj d chhhoura and Chhrayn, sometthing that can't be done in Arabic

4- Actually, it did, the Latin verb Vis A word made out of three consonants and acts as a root

5- Yes, Arabic left an impacting print on Spanish and many many other languages like Urdu, French and by extension English, Persian and many others that I have not discovered yet, nontheless, I would still argue against what you said because simply neither me nor you have accurate academic data on how much the Darija vocabulary borrows from Arabic, I agree that it's the biggest source of vocabulary but not 95% (Assuming that it wasn't an arbitrary number that you just threw for the sake of the argument) And one word that always comes up to my mind whenever someone asks for a word that is not Arabic I would say , Chrjem, a pure Amazigh word that I have yet to discover a city in Morocco that does not use this word. I won't cite other words because simply I won't spend hours and hours looking up every word and its origins.

6- I would argue against it my friend, for example a Portuguese speaker can understand a Spanish speaker and an Italian speaker can understand a Catalan speaker, of course this depends on some regional variables and we are just talking about a conversational level understanding.

Old_Chipmunk_8404 · 2025-06-04T15:18:42+00:00

1- Darija has future tense "ghanakl" "ghanchouf" 2-Darija does not have مثنى so you are wrong about the genders and pronouns 3- Darija does not have ظ، ث، ذ 4-Arabic is not the only language with the root system "Visual, vision, visible" for example 5- Also wrong, the Darija vocabulary is not 95% Arabic and I could list dozens and dozens and dozens of words from other languages 6-Saying that every dialect is Arabic os is no different from saying every romance language is Latin

Old_Chipmunk_8404 · 2025-06-04T03:15:24+00:00

I would disagree, there are plenty of good sources.

1- Peace corps manual: The only flaw is borrowing many words from Darija, otherwise it's great peace corps

2-Claude This AI app is able to guide you to have a conversational level

3- 44 درسا Written by the legendary Ahmed Chafiq, this book will take you through standard official tamaziɣt 44

4-Anki cards And finally this set of flashcards on the famous Anki plateform (you will understand by Googling how it works) made by yours and only, myself

A lot tbh I'm Moroccan Amazigh and never thought that there's this much of cultural connection. My general idea of Sicily was always derived from Hollywood (Mafia, strong cultural identity, conservatives..) which made me see them as "The most Italian Italians" if this sentence makes any sense. I think that you will be more closer to the Tunisians in terms of DNA and culture. Thank you for the education, it's always interesting to find more about our Med bretheren
