If you want to refer to someone as my love in Hebrew, you might use the literal אהובי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/נשמה-שלי-2.m4a” /] for a male and אהובתי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/נשמה-שלי-3.m4a” /] for a female.
But Israelis use a different expression when saying my love when they exaggerate (or speak sarcastically): נשמה שלי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/נשמה-שלי-1.m4a” /] – literally, my soul.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/נשמה-שלי-4.m4a” /]נשמה שלי, תכבה כבר את הקומקום!
My love, switch off the kettle already!
נשמה שלי is one of many Hebrew slang expressions that you can find here.
