Arabizi

What does la u7ibb mean in Arabizi?

la u7ibb is how you write لا أُحِبّ in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “I do not love, I do not like, do not like”.

The number in la u7ibb
7ح

The 7 stands for ح (ḥa): a breathy h, deeper than English h. 7 bends the way ح bends.

For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.

How to type it

The keystrokes, in order.

On a standard Arabic 101 / Arabic-PC layout — 9 key presses. Diacritics sit on the Shift keys. The on-screen keyboard on this site highlights each key as you go.

It sits in the hobbies lesson of our Arabic typing practice course, if you would rather drill it next to the words it turns up with.
