Tunisian Derja · noun
“ta9rir” (تقرير) is a noun in Tunisian Derja meaning report, account.
Meanings
- report, account
- official statement (accident, police)
Usage
Ta9rir refers to a written report or an official account. It is used mainly in administrative, medical, police or journalistic contexts: "ta9rir tebbi" (medical report), "ta9rir el-7adeth" (accident report). In conversation, many Tunisians simply say "rapport" in the French way, especially at work or at university. Ta9rir keeps a somewhat formal tone. The plural is ta9arir. It is not used for a simple spoken account: to tell what happened, other expressions are used.
Example
الطبيب عطاني تقرير باش نقدمو للخدمة.
tbib 3tani ta9rir bech n9addmou lel khedma.
“The doctor gave me a report to submit at work.”
How to write it in Latin letters
In Arabizi, Darija written in Latin letters, you will find “ta9rir” but also “taqrir”, “takrir” and “te9rir”. No spelling is official: people write the sounds as they hear them.
Digits stand in for Arabic letters that have no Latin equivalent: 9 is qaf (ق), a k pronounced at the back of the throat.

In Moroccan Darija
