    Arab here
    Yes you’re right. It has also become so overused it’s basically the equivalent of “bro” in English.

      Especially here in sweden(where greta is from) arabs just use it as bro and everybody started using it… which creates funny situations where immigrants from all over the world use habibi to refer to their friends. Same with yalla and other slang but from what i know those are commonly used in arabic as well.

      Habibi was the only word they thought me in Jordan. I already knew Hashish.
