Verity Roat (asker) May 22, 2021:
These are text messages so there is very little context. They are unrelated to previous text messages, so there is no point in posting anything else. That is the whole message.
Yassine El Bouknify May 22, 2021:
I don't know why don't you post enough context? Knowing the context can help us understand well such messages.
عارف ... نفسي: it might mean I know myself or I know what I want
يا بيبي: Oh baby, I know myself
شنو: what
So, why don't you post enough context since I've said this to you many times. It'll only help you render a good translation ...
