Spanish Love Words - Some Will Make Her Blush

There are lot of ways to show affection by using Spanish love words. Here are some ways to make the one you love blush.

There are lots of ways to show love and affection in Spanish. Here we've decided to show you words of endearment and what effect they'll have on your loved one. Keep in mind that the Spanish love words towards the end are more so colloquial than universal. So they will not always be understood in every country that you go to.


Remember:

1. Keep in mind that when you are using a single word you also need to know how a native would use it. For instance, in English I might know the word "get", but there are a lot of ways to use this word. I need to know how a native English speaker would use it in context so that I use it the right way too.


2. Keep in mind that there are masculine and feminine uses of these words in Spanish. If you are talking about a girl and you call her a boy, it might be offensive, or you might hear some giggles from the listener because you just gave away your "gringo-ness". In any case it will be less than endearing like the words were meant to be.


3. Keep in mind that some of these words are unique to a specific region. You may find that they are understood by Mexicans and Venezuelans but not by Ecuadorians and Peruvians. These are just examples of places. The basic idea here is that these words are sometimes region specific or colloquialisms.


Here are a few:


Babe...

This word is pretty literal when you find the word that natives would use to give the same impression for endearment. They would say Mi Bebé, pronounced "M bayBAY". This one is not so common out of all the terms of endearment. **


Sweetie...

Again this word when translated is not literal. However we pick out the word native Spanish speakers use with each other to get the same meaning. Again they would say Querida to a women, and Querido to a man.


Honey...

This one is harder to translate because we don't translate the literal meaning of "honey - the thing that bees make". We translate it's meaningand how a native Spanish speaker would say it in the same situations that a native English speaker would say it. They would say Cariño, pronounced "car n yo". **



**Keep in mind that when you see how to pronounce a wordFind Article, we did our best to tell you how it is pronounced. However reading a text on pronunciation and listening to it are completely different.
