يا عيني *
* oh my eye
Expression used often by older people
A form of affectionate address. Think "Darling," "My dear." Used for loved ones, family, friends, etc. When you compare someone to your eye, you are comparing that person to your sight--something deeply precious. Can also be used to convey admiration; think "Wow!," "Bravo!," or "Yes, you got it!" يا عيني عليك literally translates to "Oh my eye on you," and is often used in this way.
Note: In other contexts or dialects, this expression can also convey sympathy or pity (think "Poor thing") or, alternatively, sarcasm. Beware.
