Arabic - Ana Behibak (to man)/Ana Behibek (to woman)
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's (at least the way I would write the pronounciation) "ene beHeebek" and "ene beHeebek" the actual "e"s in the word are fuller than the ones where an "a" is... I think
And I got this off the internet, but: to a man (uħib:ukato)
أُحِبُّكَto a woman - (uħib:uki)
أُحِبُّAccording to that, it's "/eHibbke/ (pronounce the first e longer than that i and final e and hold the b longer, as it has a shedda) So, a shedda over a letter indicates that you hold that letter longer (for example, instead of saying "sided" with a short "s," pronounce it like a snake, "ssssided." With a letter like "b", it's more difficult, but it's the same concept. Don't say multiple Bs, but keep your lips closed longer
and
/eHibbu/ pronounce the e longer than the i and u, and hold the "b" longer (it has a shedda)
The "h"s on both of them are uvular. That might not be the right word... Constrict your throat muscles so that almost no air can get out, and say "h." That should be the sound you get, unless you're doing it incorrectly.
I recorded myself, so, I'll post the link up in a minute...
It's kinda confusing, but I tried to say them in order... But I'm not sure if I pronounced them all right...
I also say what a shedda sounded like.
And then, of course, there's always "Mi(?) habibi." For, my darling or my love...
Plus, if I'm wrong, please, you Arabic speakers, correct me.
