Habibi

Am sitting at work listening to Arabic music to while away the time....subconsciously I was always aware of the fact that 'Habibi' is probably the most used word in Arabic songs but at least one song this morning had 'Habibi' as every second word!

'Habibi' can mean anything from 'my good friend' to 'darling', it is a term of endearment used anywhere from the business meeting room to the bedroom. It is used in arguements, general discussions, bargaining and amongst chatting friends. It must be one of the most commonly used words in Arabic!

'Habibti' is for use when addressing women.
