How do you say goodnight in berber?

There isn't one single way to say "goodnight" in Berber, as there are many different Berber languages and dialects. Here are a few options, depending on the specific language you're interested in:

In Tamazight (a major Berber language):

* A t-id n t-ighri: (pronounced ah-tee-d n tee-ghree) This is the most common and literal translation, meaning "the time of night" or "night time".

* A d-iɣri-d: (pronounced ah-dee-ghree-d) This is a more informal way to say "goodnight" that means "night".

* A k-ssiɣ: (pronounced ah k-see-gh) This is a less common greeting, but can also be used to mean "goodnight" and translates to "may you sleep well".

In Kabyle (another Berber language):

* A y-id n t-ighri: (pronounced ah yee-d n tee-ghree) This is similar to the Tamazight phrase and means "the time of night".

* A t-ighri-t: (pronounced ah tee-ghree-t) This is a more informal way to say "goodnight" and means "night".

* A k-ssiɣ: (pronounced ah k-see-gh) This is also used in Kabyle and has the same meaning as in Tamazight.

In Rifian (another Berber language):

* A y-id n t-ighri: (pronounced ah yee-d n tee-ghree) This is similar to the Tamazight and Kabyle phrases and means "the time of night".

* A t-ighri-t: (pronounced ah tee-ghree-t) This is a more informal way to say "goodnight" and means "night".

* A t-ssiɣ: (pronounced ah t-see-gh) This is similar to the Tamazight and Kabyle phrases and means "may you sleep well".

Remember: These are just a few examples, and there may be other ways to say "goodnight" in different Berber dialects.

It's always best to check with a native speaker if you want to be sure you're using the correct phrase.
