hi there,

(not sure if it's appropriate to ask question here but if not please let me know the best forum to ask)

I'd like to ask if we can use " kbida" "hbiba" "hbibi" "3omri (?)" to call friends (opposite sex)
would it make people misunderstand the feeling?
(like if a male friend call a female friend hbiba/kbida, is it normal? same as girl calling male friends
and also for married men/with partners, is it appropriate?)

Chokran bzf ))

Well, hope you already knows what is the meaning of this words.
It's Quite inappropriate to call a friend "kbida, 3omri,hbibi/hbiba (both gender) ,and such words will surely lead to a massive misunderstanding. this words are being used between lovers only (no problem to use them with children as well).
