This is Yiddish for "I have love for you." It is the same as the German phrase "Ich hab dich Lieb."


The standard Yiddish pronunciation is (in IPA) [ɪχ hɔb dɪχ liːb].

In Poylish (Polish Yiddish) it is pronounced [ɪχ hʊb dɪχ liːb].

If you don't know IPA: [ɪ] is pronounced as the "i" in "pit"
[χ] is pronounced as the "ch" in the Scots Word "loch" or as in "Johann Sebastian Bach"
[h] is pronounced as the "h" in "hold"
[É”] is pronounced as the "o" in "port"
[ÊŠ] is pronounced as the "oo" in "foot"
[b] is pronounced as the "b" in "bat"
[d] is pronounced as the "d" in "deck"
[l] is pronounced as the "l" in "leap" (without your tongue touching your teeth)

[iː] is pronounced as the "ee" in "feed"


In the Yiddish alphabet it is spelled "איך האָב דיך ליב" (note that Yiddish is read from right to left).
