Mi paloma blanca and I call my husband mi paloma negra

Mi rey/reina, mi cielo, amorcito.

Well, let's put into perspective. How do you think cutie pie and honey bunny sound to us? :classic:

sound..? How 'bout the effect on some of the other senses?

Here's the ultimate Dominican love lyrics:

Ay lindo capullo de alel?
'to lo que me guinda es para t?

 

[miamor]

I always get linda, reina or preciosa. Not so original, but then again neither are honey, sweety or darling in English.

Here's the ultimate Dominican love lyrics:

Ay lindo capullo de alel?
'to lo que me guinda es para t?

yes if all that hangs is pockets full of money. and gold chains.

 

[something_of_the_night]

yes if all that hangs is pockets full of money. and gold chains.

M.A.R., I ain't got no money and I definitely couldn't afford gold chains, not even golf?l, as we Dominicans say. That narrows it.

Mi capullito de alel? is something I've been saying to my wife for a few years now.....don't know where I picked it up from. I'm going to now add the part about 'to lo que me guinda es para t? --she'll like that.

 

[Chirimoya]

It's from an old song, the first line, anyway...

 

[Kyle]

mi gordita/o is another one..if you;re in love with a fat person...LOL

 

[miamor]

two more...

mu?equita or when I am being a little witch - brujita

 

[Kyle]

quick question..reina is pronounced re-i-na or like rei-na..would never want to mispronouce such a nice word to mi chula....

 

[pielmorena]

Nicknames

We dominican women usual say the following to our men:
Papi, more', amor, papito, cari?o, mi cielo, mi negro, viejo

They love saying to us:
Mamita, chula, amor, mi reina, vieja,

 

[Kyle]

*taking notes*...what else ?

 

[jaguarbob]

[M.A.R.]

how do you pronounce alel?...a li le???

aleli the a is flat as in apple
the e is flat as in elephant
and the i as in ee - eel

so a le lee - hope this helps.

I know you would call a waitress-- Mi Amor but would you call a close friend of the same sex--Mi Amor? any of those terms like your would in English-- or is it strickly for waitresses and loved ones!? What about a male friend?

I've been called Mami. I've called men Papi but that's all.

I can't imagine calling my close friend Mi amor but then again I'm not Dominican!!

 

[Chip00]

Carino, mi cielo, mi vida, papi chulo to name a few - not that any one calls me these things, lol.

 

[2LeftFeet]

Hey Chip

I know they words but would you call friends of the same sex these names too? or are they just for novios/novias? --Would I call my girlfriend Mi Amor? I am a woman--- Would I call the waitress-- Mi amor?

A male friend-- I could call papi-- but would I call him Mi amor?
