So without further ado, let's get started!

N7ebek

It means "I love you" quite simply. You'll find that it's related to the Arabic "أحبك" but it's typically Algerian in that the "oo" sound in the beginning of the verb is switched with the prefix "n". The "7" corresponds to the Arabic "ح".

Twahechtek

This one means "I miss you". Works evert time!

Nmout alik

I'd die for you! Now that's a real love phrase. But keep reading, it gets better!

Ya 3amri

The "3" corresponds to the Arabic "ع"
This one literally means "oh my soul", but it's something that's very frequently used as "How cute".

Nechtik

Some say that this one is mostly platonic and something you say between friends - other beg to differ! It's worth experimenting!

Dkhelt(i) f9elbi

The "9" here corresponds to the Arabic letter "ق"
You entered my heart. Dkhelti if it's adressed to a woman, dkhelt if it's to a man.

Nebghik rabbak

I want you, your god! "Nebghik" being way of saying "I want" and "rabbak" literally meaning "your lord". A way of making the statement stronger.

Rodi 3liya ma9dertch netnefess

Answer me, I can't breathe! For someone who's in a bad state!

Zin dyali

My beauty!

Nti a3ziza a3liya

You are dear to me. This one is when addressed to a woman. When saying it to a man, it should be "nta a3ziz a3liya"

Ndik ou nrou7 ou la tati7 rou7

I'll take you and go, otherwise I'll drop a soul.
I think this one fits the description "Algerian love phrase" pretty well!

Kebda diali

My liver! This is mostly something you'd say to your children. If you think it sounds a little strange, think about what you'd do without your liver!

Ya zella

You pretty one!

Denyti w ma fiha

(You are) My world and what's within.

Raabk ghir nti li nedik

I want you to be my wife!
You might as well go all in.

I would fight them for you your God. (Your god sort of makes it stronger than "my god")

Bsslahi drbtini wlh ma rahamntini

You hit me with my own weapon, you had no mercy on me.
This one's for when it's really bad!

Galbi we galbek 3and lbouchi m3alguine

My heart and your heart are hanged at the butcher's!
A clear fatality!

Ghir matebkich gouli da mektoubi
Don't cry, just say this is my fate
El delm s3ib w enti shekiti
Pain is hard and you're the one who have doubts
Sma3ti el hadra w tqalqti
You've listened/paid attention to what people said and got worried.
Nekhda3 3omri had shi mou7al
Betray you ? This is impossible
Jiti tebki w dlemtini
You cried and hurt me
Be klam el nass bedel la7wel
Poeple's words destroyed our story
Ida tfahemna ghir la2 tordich
If we understand each other, don't go
El madi hlawa ya khti la2 tensish
The past is full of good memories, don't forget it
Loukan ghaltan manwelich
If I was wrong, I won't come back
