    ما ا حب - i thought this translates to what i love. How does it mean 'i dont like...' Please explain?

    @Fazzarabic, in colloquial maa is also used to negate present tense verbs. Maa generally means what if it's followed by a noun, if it's followed by a verb then it usually negates it.

    The what should be Maad'aa ماذا if it's followed by a verb e.g.

    ماذا أحب
    What do I love

    ماذا يأكل
    What is he eating

    ما لونه
    Maa lawnuh
    What is his/it's colour (Lawn is a noun here and so Maa means what)

    ما يأكل
    Maa ya2kul
    He is not eating (in colloquial), in classical Laa is used to negate present tense verbs لا يأكل
