Hi all,
Apologies for the random post, would you believe it, but I can't find a single Egyptian > English translation service!
Here's the sad story, my new girlfriend is in Egypt on holiday (and is loving the beautiful country by all accounts). She has just sent me a text message ending with some Egyptian phrase and I would desperately like to know what it means.
The words are (excuse spelling):
Ana hababak, habibi
Thanks in advance for your help!
