Need Translation Help - Arabic to English
Hello All,
Can someone tell me what is the meaning of the following Arabic words: Hayati Shurby If these words are used by a woman in addressing a man like "Hayati Pie" or "Shurby Pie" what does it mean? Thank you very much for your help in advance. Last edited by bbbak; 04-24-2005 at 08:52 PM. |

"Hayati Pie", that could mean that the first person is calling the other person "My life partner". Am I right? But what does it mean if one person refers to other person by the word "Shurby"? Does "soup" mean anything affectionate in Arabic when refered to another person? Like in English, "Sweetie" or "Honey" is commonly used to call someone you love.

hmmmmm, who is Pie, is it your name or is it the cake like apple pie? and where is the person who is addressing you from? because it depends on the cultural background of the person.

wiered , but we never use Pie or soup as something affectionate in Arabic ...
maybe it is ( beh ) , like saying hayati beh ( my life depends on it ) !!! as for shourby !!! am sure it is misspelled or something |

I couldn't think of an answer to that either, bbbak says that the pie is like the regular pie in english, we say sometimes in english Honey pie, but i don't see what does shurby have to do with Pie, weird !
