Arabic term

ربي يهنّيك

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

This is from a North African text.

The context is this man telling his colleague that he's so naive/innocent/clueless.

أنت طيّب يا سي أحمد، ربّي يهنّيك ...

Does it mean something like 'God help you'?

Thanks!
