A picture of a plaza in Morocco with text that reads, "Study Abroad Word of the Month by Christian Brawner:“The phrase from Darija that I believe represents Morocco and my trip here is "La Bas?" La Bas translates to "No Problem?" I believe it really characterizes the attitude that many Moroccans have as they are very welcoming and friendly. While walking through the streets of Meknes, if you make eye contact with a shopkeeper or someone in passing, they likely will smile and say "La Bas?" and in return, you smile back and say La Bas! To me, La Bas is the Hakuna Matata of Morocco; it means no worries!”
