Decoding Arabic

12/02/2024

If you’re learning Arabic, chances are you’ve already stumbled upon the word “habibi.”
It’s literally translated to “my lover,” with “habib” meaning “loved one/lover” and “ii” being the possessive suffix “my”.

But did you know “habibi” isn’t just reserved for those romantic moments? It’s got a whole other side to it!

Add the friendly vocative “ya” in front, and there you go— “ya habibi” becomes an exclamation that’s as versatile as they come. It’s like saying “come on,” “here we go again,” or “well well well” in English—depending on the vibe and the situation, of course.

Have you heard the exclamation “ya habibi” before?

This proverb is not saying that people are bad, but sometimes troubles can come in a form of a person who pushes your buttons, tests your patience and maybe more.⁣
This reminds me of Sartre's famous line "hell is others", which was said in a similar context in his play Huis Clos, where people were imagining that their punishment in hell was going to be burning and beating to end up being locked up with other people, and causing all sorts of pain and heartbreak to each others, in other words: they were the hell/scourage to each others.⁣

Bu atasözü, insanların kötü olduğunu söylemiyor, ancak bazen sıkıntılar, düğmelere basan, sabrınızı test eden ve belki daha fazlasını yapan bir insan şeklinde gelebilir.⁣
Bu bana Sartre'ın Huis Clos oyununda benzer bir bağlamda söylediği "cehennem diğerleridir" sözünü hatırlatıyor. insanlar cehennemdeki cezalarının yakmak ve dövmek olacağını sanıyorlardı.⁣
ama sonunda diğer insanlarla kilitli kaldılar ve birbirlerine her türlü acıya ve kalp kırılmasına neden oldular. Yani birbirlerinin baş belasıydılar.⁣

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 (𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬) 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝. This is a beautiful Arabic proverb that could be applied to many aspects of our lives. Whether it's a trip, a new job, a relationship, or even a roommate, who you are with is more important than the what and where and when.. So make sure you're in good company.⁣

𝐘𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐚𝐧 ö𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐝𝐚ş. Bu, hayatımızın birçok yönüne uygulanabilecek güzel bir Arap atasözü. Bir gezi, yeni bir iş, bir ilişki, hatta bir ev arkadaşı olsun, kiminle birlikte olduğunuz, nerede, ne zaman ve ne zaman olduğundan daha önemlidir.. Bu yüzden iyi arkadaşlarla olduğunuzdan emin olun.⁣

إذَا رأيْتَ الظَّالِمَ مُسْتَمِرًّا فِي ظُلْمِهِ، فاعرَفْ أنَّ نِهَايَتَهُ مَحْتُومَةٌ.. وإذَا رأيْتَ المَظْلُومَ مُسْتَمِرًّا فِي مُقاوَمَتِهِ فاعرَفْ أنّ اِنْتِصَارَهُ مَحتُومٌ.⁣⁣
