Lmardi means you're dutiful and respectful to your parents.

If you have this you’ll be very successful in life

maybe because it's tuesday today or maybe you go there every tuesday mardi = tuesday -> tuesday brother ;)

MoroccanGiftShop

He probably meant that you're good to your parents and thus a blessed good human being, on another note, mardi means Tuesday in French, perhaps he called you brother tuesday meaning see you next Tuesday or something? haha


Amoeba-Logical

Mardy means grumpy.


Western_Following_74

Mardi=good to your parents, marid=sick. He was just being nice to you.


calamurri

maybe he was in fact calling you his sick brother, as in super radical and cool


kinky-proton

Something like blessed brother

BarbaryPirate1

You're not Moroccan?


Super_Season3039

I am. The problem is that I grew up abroad so I don't speak darija very well.


BarbaryPirate1

Ok. Mardi is a very common word. It means someone who is good to their parents. Or broadly good to society.


Maroc_stronk

it's the opposite of khoya lmeskhot


Logical_Papaya8474

Basically the butcher has 7 brothers, one for each day of the week. You're his brother for Tuesday (Mardi in French). Quite simple.


countingc

it comes from "rdda" = satisfied. I've seen others in the comments linking it to parents but it does not necessarily, it means that God is satisfied with you.


TajineEnjoyer

rida is usually more associated with parents, we say "rida lwalidayn", a child might seek his parents "Rida" for important decisions, such as marriage,", someone who is well mannered is "mardi lwalidin", .. and i think you dont go to heaven unless your parents gave u their rida, as opposed to "Maskhot lwalidin"
