The house and everyday things in Derja

Rooms, furniture and the objects you reach for every day.

The vocabulary of an Algerian home is where you meet the French layer of Derja head on. The kitchen is الكوزينة, the table is الطابلة, and nobody is going to think less of you for using them. These are Algerian words now, whatever their origin.

These are also the first words worth learning if you are visiting family, because a house is where most of the conversation happens.
