Arabic speakers please!

Someone tells me "habibi" means my love. How about "hbb" does that mean my love too? Or does it mean bro? :/

[Anonymous]

is he Lebanese? because there they use hbb as the abbreviation for habibi!
some Lebanese words are written in Latin letters but as they sound in French (since most lebanese speak french as well), like habibi!
if you want it written in English pronunciation then it's habeebee!!
the B letter then sounds like (bee) right?
soo here is the hbb like habeebee ;)

[Mohamed_069]

I confirm

[exoticdoll]

habibi means my love as does habibti. if you pronounce the 'hbb' like as if your saying habibi then yes its just a shortened version

[Rachel_E]

No one of my Arab friend sent me "Happy Birthday hbb" so I asked my other Arab friend and he said hbb means bro :/ habibi means babe I'm so confused :/

[exoticdoll]

maybe your friend meant 'happy birthday bro' ?

[Rachel_E]

I don't know if hbb means bro or love :/ The other friend could be joking :/

[exoticdoll]

I searched it on google it said it means heavenly blessed beauty :)

[kareenakapur]

It's basically darling, that's all. It can be used romantically or like mother-to-son, aunt-to-nephew and so on.

[chocolatedragon]

It's an affectionate term for someone. My iraqui friend told me I could call her that <3

[askaway2012new]

"Habibi" حبيبي for a man, and "Habibti" حبيبتي for a woman
hbb isn't an Arabic word.

[Rachel_E]

Thanks. Is it a shortened version or something?

[askaway2012new]

I speak Arabic it's my native language, and i can tell you that hbb isn't a shortened version of an Arabic word.

[Rachel_E]

Thanks :)

[Mohamed_069]

Yes hbb is a shortend version of habibi. Lebanese people use it a lot (I‘m lebanese).

[nina12354]

yes hbb is the same as habibi which can mean both bro or my love depending on whom ur addressing

[nina12354]

same as habibi with an abbreviation

[Estelita]

It's the equivalent of my darling, sweetheart, good friend... etc.

Not a native speaker.

[Estelita]

Or beloved.

[Kshppatel]

Hbb means heavenly blessed beauty.

[Mohamed_069]

Not the arabic/ lebanese meaning

[nina12354]

@Mohamed_069 ‘lebanese is arabic ‘
