From Arabic بِوِدِّ (biwiddi).

  1. want to
    بدي شوفك كل يوم، يا حبيبي

Usage notes edit

  • The past is formed by adding كان (kēn), which originally would be left unchanged, but is now equally commonly conjugated. Thus: كان بدي شوفك (kēn baddi šūfak) or كنت بدي شوفك (kint baddi šūfak), both “I wanted to see you.”
