A Rav is a rabbi.

the difference between a rebbie and a rabbi is that a rebbe is a rabbi of a hasidic group. Or it could be used to mean a male school teacher.

Matzas mamma youa re going to get alot of answers.

Rav usually means a Rabbi who can posek, give you halachic answers and answer nidah questions and such. not all Rabbis can do that.


Rabbi and REbbie as 1stimer told u, Rabi is a rabbi as we know it and rebbie is a school teacher. or REbbe can be a chasisidic spritual leader of a chasidic sect.
