    It means My love, My babe... etc. It's said to a male. If you want to say it to a female, you say Habibti !!

    It's like a pet name for a person you care about. In also used in casual conversations not neccessarly between boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife.

    For example:

    In English, you could say to someone "Honey, Don't even think about that". Honey not meaning anything passionate/sexual.

    In Arabic: "Habibi/Habibti, don't even think about that!"

    And sometimes it could mean something along the lines of "Oh my god" = "Ya habibi"

    Some of my friends say sometime "How are you habibi? " when meeting a friend - that would means something like "How are you my dear old friend"

    It depends on where you use it and why!

    :) Hope I helped you out!

    Habibi Meaning

  • 5 years ago

    Habibi means beloved one and can be directed to a child of either sex. When one uses Habib or habibi it depends on dialect or which form of Arabic is being used.

    These days you can learn how to speak Arabic over the internet. Check out this online course, it's voted as the best Arabic online course of all time: http://www.rocketlearner.com/arabic The course is very easy to follow, I was able to learn Arabic in just 3 months.

    I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a Arabic language teacher but that would have cost me over $800 per month. Good thing with this internet, $800 it's a lot of money for me.

    Sort of like "my love" except it's not as cheesy in arabic and can be used not only to lovers.

    It's possible to spend lots of time and money searching for approaches to train your children how to learn and improve their examining skills. Is difficult to show a small child how to read, and actually tempting them to read is difficult in itself. Nonetheless it doesn't have to be like that since you got assistance from this program https://tr.im/5EQsL , Children Learning Reading program.

    With Children Learning Reading you may train your youngster how to separate sounds and separate phrases in to phonemes, an important issue when your kid is merely learning to spell.

    The studying system from Children Learning Reading program allows you for children to read easily and correctly, from simple phrases to sentences till they learn to read stories.

    Depending to who you use it with, I explain:

    If a mother or a father say it to their kid it means darling.

    A woman to a man it means sweetheart

    A man to a woman is sweetheat too but it becomes habibti in that case.

    Now if a man says it to another man... heh heh... it's not what you think... is means like my beloved friend of always !

    There !
