Arabic term
أنت في معزّة أخواتي
This is said between two women who are not sisters. They are related by marriage. They've just had a fight.
Does it mean 'you're like a sister to me?' Or you're dearer than a sister?
أسفة يا فاطمة، لم يكن قصدي .... أنت في معزّة أخواتي

You are as dear to me as my sisters
The Arabic phrase "أنت في معزّة أخواتي" can be translated to "You are as dear to me as my sisters" or "You have the same place in my heart as my sisters." It signifies a close bond and affection, even after a disagreement, indicating that the speaker values the person just as much as they do their own sisters. However, it doesn't directly equate to "you're like a sister to me" or "you're even dearer than a sister."
