What does nash3ur mean in Arabizi?
nash3ur is how you write نَشْعُر in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “we feel”.
The 3 stands for ع (ayn): a throaty sound. No clean English equivalent. 3 is a mirrored ع.
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.
