Usage
Stratijiya means a strategy, in the sense of a thought-out plan to reach a goal. It is used in football ("stratijiya dial lmodarib"), politics, business, or jokingly about a personal plan. The word is feminine: one says "stratijiya jdida" (a new strategy). Alongside this Arabized form, many speakers simply say "stratégie" in French. For the adjective "strategic", the usual form is stratiji, feminine stratijiya. Be careful with this homonymy, since only context distinguishes the noun from the feminine adjective.
