Answer 7

This is where the Egyptian language gets misunderstood in translation by a lot of we Westerners.

When you call a person your or my habebe/habibi, it doesn't necessarily imply that they love you, it can also mean that they like you as a friend and it should just be taken as the compliment it is intended to be..

The word for love and like are the same in Arabic which can lead to lots of misinterpretations and hurt feelings when misinterpreted as a serious statement if the persons feelings...

The words "enta habebe" could mean you are her love

or beloved one and it can also mean you are a dear friend.

enta =you.masculine.

enti/ente =you.feminine

habeeb=to love or like.

The a or e/i as the end letter determines the masculine or feminine.

There are several basic "Learn Arabic" series of lessons on youtube, where you can learn the basics.

Answer 8
