    We have the same thing in Greece...Μάτια μου -> Oyouni...We have it as an everyday endearment to our loved ones... sometimes when a person is way too social he might use it in a common conversation with anyone, like the word dear (for example:. Oh come on dear)...but most of the time we use it as an endearment.

I'm sure more experienced speakers know immediately what is meant, but for beginners, an Arabic writing would help a lot. شكرا

    In Antakya we pronounce the 'q' in ba'a so you'll hear us say baqa. Mostly used in an expression of getting impatient: "Ee baqa, hayj ya!". Ya wayleh, we also use "Ya waylakh" to express pity to someone. LOL! We Arabs have a lot of expressions of affection: Yaa oyouni, ya qalbi, ya rouhi, ya oumri, and I'm sure we have dozens more!

    As an Egyptian I don't know how I would speak without 'ba'a' it literally fits everywhere and anywhere.
    We also use 'ya 'bny' and 'ya baba' when talking to a man or a boy instead of saying 'you' or when we don't know his name. The thing is they mean 'my son' and 'my dad' which doesn't make sense when translated, just imagine an old man calling a young boy whom he doesn't know his name 'ya baba' meaning 'my dad' 😂😂😂😂😂

    (Ya waylly) comes from “wayl” which is a valley in hell, it’s mentioned in the Quran. And here in the UAE we use it for saying “ I’m in trouble” or “you’re in trouble”

    What’s up Mark my brother, nice video as always and expected. One thing though Weel or wayl is a river in hell that the hell bound people will be drinking from. 🤓 do look it up in the Arabic dictionary, tafsir Islami and so. Keep on keeping on my brother, from New York to Quebec with love always.
