First Derja word/phrase?

[gn4dz]

I must have meant Yselmek then as its said during all the pleasantries... but then I suppose it could also mean 'he sends his love' I notice it cos I think it sounds a bit like salamoleikum.

The problem is that when Arabic is so alien to your ears, its hard to hear where one word ends and the others starts. I sometimes ask what words mean and I have only caught the tail end.

No not Algerian I'm afraid. Wish I could speak Derdja though!

hope you can do it one day

I think it is "He passes his regards " (from he kisses you )

yssalem alik = يسلم عليك

unless you are talking about "Yselmek " which means you are welcome (and it can mean a lot more )

salamoleikum means Peace be upon you = Hello

for Yselmek, you can say it when somebody tell you Thanks, you respond ''Yselmek'', it means as nesreen said : you are welcome

Oh and another question! How do you say please?? Funny I have never picked this up!

it depends the region : t'eech (t'3eech), t'eechee for you

in the Ouest they say : yerham bouk

in the East : aychek
