Answer

Hi! كا means "like", so when you say الحب كالحرب you mean "love is like war

Answer

Hello!
  "الحب كالحرب من السهل أن تشعلها و من الصعب أن تخمدها =love is like war easy to start and difficult to end"
in arabic if you want to compare something to something else you can use" كا"  or" يُشبِهُ"  or" مِثلَ".
=>الحب يشبه الحرب =الحب مثل الحرب
for example: "a good friend is like a mirror = الصَدِيقُ الجَيَّدُ كالمِرآةِ."
   -"كا"here means "is like"=>(love=الحب)+(is like=كا or يُشـبِهُ or مِثلُ) +(war=الحرب).
I hope it will help ^_^

Answer

"Ka" in Standard Arabic is not the same in Moroccan Dialect

In MSA ( Modern Standard Arabic ) ka is like 'as' in English

كسرعة البرق
as the speed of lightening

But in Moroccan it represent something in the present

كبغيتي you like
غاتبغي you will like
