Anyone know any Spanish?

[scheherazade_79]

I'm looking for a list of Spanish terms of affection - sweetheart, love etc. - and I'm having no luck with online dictionaries.

Are there any Spanish-speakers out there who could shed a little light on the situation?

Much appreciated

The ony one I know is mi cielo. I believe it translates directly to "my sky" but I used to have a friend who would start all her love letters to her boyfriend that way and she meant it in a "wind beneath my wings" kind of way.

Oh, and mi amor would be "my love", I believe, but I will defer to la Perdita Bonita on the proper usage. I'll bet knows ALL the words of romance.

I know that te amor is I love you, but I'm afraid my Spanish isn't up to much more.

Yep, find Perdita..............she's groovy and bilingual, so I've heard.

The Earl

That would be te amo.

Some terms of affection off the top of my head:

(mi) cariño - (my) darling
(mi) amor - (my) love
(mi) querida - (my) dear
(mi) amada - (my) beloved
(mi) adorada (my) adored
(mi) corazón - (my) [sweet-]heart


OK, I see the expert arrived before me.

te amo is less formal

Okay, so my two words of spanish are actually wrong . Never mind - now I know better should I ever attract a Mexica chica.

The Earl

Awwww Not wrong, Earl. You had the right pronoun and the right verb, just a lil conjugation issue.

Just don't say te amo, puta, whatEVER you do I learned my lesson!

Actually, he had the right pronoun and the right noun. The verb is amar

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Well, that really depends on the mood of the moment.

Crap. You're right. *le sigh* This is what happens when you let a decade go by without studying or using Spanish.

To her mother? How do you think I learned all the swear words!

Oh, then that was a major faux-pas.

(That's not Spanish, by the way)
