Be Mine in Morse Code
-... . / -- .. -. .
"Be mine" is the classic Valentine's question, the phrase printed on candy hearts for over a century. In Morse it reads -... . / -- .. -. ., a short two-word request that fits perfectly on a card, a small pendant, or a slip of paper tucked into a gift. Its brevity is the point — it asks for everything in just two short words.
Letter-by-Letter Breakdown
| Letter | Morse | Sound (di / dah) |
|---|---|---|
| B | -... | dah-di-di-dit |
| E | . | dit |
| / | word gap | |
| M | -- | dah-dah |
| I | .. | di-dit |
| N | -. | dah-dit |
| E | . | dit |
"Be" is quick: B's dash-three-dots (-...) then a single-dot E. "Mine" runs -- .. -. ., starting on M's two dashes and ending, like so many tender words, on a single E. The whole phrase is compact and front-weighted, with the longest signals up top and a soft landing.
