What is the meaning of Ya Hobbi? What does "ya hobbi" means? it is so simple it means my love. but my question here is that ( give me your answers according to Sham's culture, specially Jordan) : Can it be used between family members? What does it mean when it's being used between random strangers of different genders? Thank you

In jordon or in all Arabic countries we can say ( ya hobbi) to our family members but not always . It's weird to say it but sometime we do it to show our love in informal speech. We can't say this phrase to strangers especially between woman and man .unless they were close friends or lovers.

It's strange, even between family members. Friends of the same gender use it sometimes. We use "ya 7abebti/7abibi", it's more natural and more common.

yes it is a flirting method .. it would sound strange to say to your brother ya hobbi unless you are very very close..but you can use it with your parents to express your love for them.. friends of the same gender usually use it .. and it's a big no no to say that to a stranger .. hope that helps ^^

so may i came to this conclusion that saying ya 7obbi is a kind of flirting method in Arabic language and culture and nothing else?
