What does nasi7a mean in Arabizi?

nasi7a is how you write نَصيحة in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “advice, counsel”.

The number in nasi7a
7ح

The 7 stands for ح (ḥa): a breathy h, deeper than English h. 7 bends the way ح bends.

For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.
