bso8oula بسهولة
Moroccan Darija · adverb
“bso8oula” (بسهولة) is an adverb in Moroccan Darija meaning easily.
Meanings
- easily
- without difficulty
Usage
Bshoula means "easily." The word comes from common Arabic but is fully integrated into darija, in speech and in writing. It generally comes after the verb: "dazt l'examen bshoula" (I passed the exam easily). In the negative, people often say "machi bshoula" (it's not easy, not any time soon). In a more informal register, "bla t3ab" (without effort) is also heard. In arabizi, the h is often written 8, hence spellings like bso8oula.
Example
كنتقل بسهولة بين الحجر و الأعشاب البحرية
kanta9l bso8ola bin l7jar ol a3chab alb7riya
“I move easily between the rocks and the seaweed.”
