jdded جدّد
Moroccan Darija · verb
“jdded” (جدّد) is a verb in Moroccan Darija meaning renew (a document, a contract).
Meanings
- renew (a document, a contract)
- refurbish, make like new
Usage
Jdded (imperfective kayjedded) is the usual verb for renewing an administrative document or a subscription: jdded la carte, le passeport, l'assurance, le contrat. It is also used for making something like new again, for example a house, furniture or a wardrobe. Pitfall: in the sentences collected, the spelling jdad mainly denotes the plural of the adjective jdid ("new"), as in 7wayej jdad ("new clothes"). This plural must be distinguished from the verb jdded, with its doubled consonant. The verb is neutral in register and is used in all situations.
Example
سير جدد لأسورانس ديالك
sir jdded l assurance dialk
“Go and renew your insurance.”
