Usage
Plizir is the adapted loanword from French "plaisir". It is informal and frequent among young people and in cities. It is heard mostly in expressions like "dir chi plizir", "treat yourself", or "b plizir", "with pleasure". It can refer to a small treat, an outing or a purchase you give yourself. In a more neutral or formal register, Arabic words like nachat or mut3a are preferred. These words are not always interchangeable with plizir, which keeps a light, relaxed nuance.
Example

had simana ghadi ndir chi plizir l rassi.
“This week I'm going to treat myself a little.”
