- For the novel, see Imzadi.
Imzadi (pronounced em-ZAH-dee) is a Betazed word most closely translated as "beloved." It is frequently used as a term of endearment. (TNG: "Haven")
Deanna Troi telepathically called Commander William T. Riker "imzadi" upon their first meeting on board the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
Troi and Riker held a conversation about the term and their relationship on the holodeck during a visit from Lwaxana Troi to the Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Haven")
Deanna Troi called out imzadi as Riker was being held captive by Armus on Vagra II. (TNG: "Skin of Evil")
Troi called Riker imzadi as he lay suffering from the microorganism that had attacked his nervous system. (TNG: "Shades of Gray")
Troi called Riker imzadi in her quarters when she was under the influence of the darker thoughts of Ambassador Ves Alkar. (TNG: "Man of the People")
Riker later called Troi imzadi when she was affected by the two-dimensional lifeforms and as a consequence lost her empathic abilities and became frightened. (TNG: "The Loss")
Thomas Riker called Troi imzadi upon seeing her for the first time in eight years. (TNG: "Second Chances")
While being telepathically violated, Troi flashed back to a conversation with Riker where they discussed being in a relationship while on the same ship. She kept flashing back to this memory, but with Riker's role being replaced by Jev and then Tarmin. (TNG: "Violations")
After playing the trombone for Troi, Riker stated "I knew that I could count on my imzadi &ndash the ship's counselor &ndash to improve my self image." (TNG: "Thine Own Self")
Riker again called Troi his imzadi when the two became intimate in their quarters on the USS Enterprise-E following the first part of their wedding ceremony on Earth. (Star Trek Nemesis)
