rabet رابط
Algerian Darja · noun
“rabet” (رابط) is a noun in Algerian Darja meaning link (internet).
Meanings
- link (internet)
- link, tie
Usage
Rabet is used mainly for an internet link: that of a channel, a group or a video. It is very common in comments and written messages: "ab3atli rabet" (send me the link). The word comes from Standard Arabic. In speech, many Algerians say "le lien" or "link" instead. It is often built with taa: "rabet taa la chaîne" (the channel's link). The plural is rawabet, which also serves in the figurative sense of ties between people, but that use is more formal.
Example
ابعثلي الرابط تاع الفيديو.
ab3athli rrabet taa la vidéo.
“Send me the video link.”
