the word "يحب" give exactly the meaning of "like" or "love". أنا أحب أبي = i love my father هو يحب الرسم = he likes drawing أخي يحب الشوكولا = my brother love chocolate the verb "يهوى" refer nearly to the same meaning but with more passion or it's said when you really enjoy doing sth or it's your hobby EX: أنا أهوي القراءة = i love reading (it's my hobby) هو يهوي الرسم= He loves drawing (it's his hobby) "يهوي + شخص" adore him/her or love him/her a lot أهوي أمي = i adore mum / i love mum too much Hope that helped :)
