Oh wow I finally know how to pronounce 7oby.

I've always said "zoby" in my head

It's ok, I think a lot of people read it that way these days lol The other one I get a lot is "Seven-obi."

Back when I picked up that handle 20 years ago 133tspeak was more common and the 7 being a T was more obvious. I'll take that 7 to my grave though, I don't care that it's becoming more confusing as time passes haha

#asks #It's possible to read it as حبي too but that was purely by coincidence #That means love or friendship depending on the dialect #It seems comparable to Japanese 好き but I don't know a whole lot about Arabic or its dialects unfortunately...#Wish I did or had the time to learn it though!!#It's like Russian where it has an absolutely incredible body of literature (particularly poetry) and a lot of it never gets translated #The Arabic script is also very beautiful. I think it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing writing systems out there #Alas! It (like Russian and Japanese) requires an incredible amount of effort and time for a native English speaker to learn 😔
