Mid Eastern way:

baHibbak (the H is a strong one)
a7ibbak

Moroccan way:

nabghik / kanbghik
nmoot 3lik / kanmoot 3lik -Literally, I die for you-

Standard Arabic:

oHibboka

Note: Habibi means “My darling” as opposed to “I love you” which i’ve tried to highlight above, Corrections from other members are more than welcome :slight_smile:
