If you want to sound affectionate when speaking to your Spanish-speaking significant other, I have some pet names that are used to express affection in Spanish.
In English, I can only think of a couple of commonly used pet names such as “honey,” and “sweetheart” but the Spanish language has countless COMMON pet names. Maybe this helps explain why “los latinos” are renowned as hot blooded, passionate and intense lovers.
These are very common names that are used by “amantes” (lovers) in order to express affection. Even if you don’t have a Spanish-speaking significant other, you will hear these words used constantly in “novelas” (soap operas) and “películas” (movies). And if you listen to music in Spanish you will hear the same terms of endearment used over and over again.
One thing that I noticed about the Spanish language is that you can take a name that is used to express affection and add “ito” or “ita” to the ending of the word to make it sound even more affectionate.
Depending on the last letter of the word, you may have to add “quito/quita,” “guito/guita” or “cito/cita” to make the word sound more affectionate.
Spanish Diminutives
List of Pet Names in Spanish
1. corazón, mi corazoncito – heart, my heart
2. príncipe/princesa/mi princesita – prince, princess, mi princess
3. mi rey/reina/mi reinita – my king, queen, my queen
4. cariño, mi cariño – caress/dear/darling, my caress/my dear
5. mi príncipe azul – my prince charming but literally “my blue prince”
6. tesoro/mi tesorito – treasure, my little treasure
7. amor/mi amor/mi amorcito – love, my love, my little love
8. mi morenito/mi morenita – my dark-skinned one
9. mi paisita – my paisa (“Paisa” is a person from Medellín, Colombia)
10. mi gringuito – my gringo
11. mi amiguito – my dear friend
12. mi vida – my life
13. nene/nena – darling
14. bebé – baby
And diminutives are not just reserved for persons and animals. I have an “amiguita” here in Colombia who always refers to her dog as “mi animalito” or “my little animal.”
Although the textbooks will tell you that diminutives are only added to nouns, I have heard Spanish speakers add them to words that are not nouns in order to sound more affectionate. “Por ejemplo” (for example), “solo” becomes “solito”
Mi amor, me dejaste solito.
(My love, you left me all alone.)
I have also heard Spanish speakers throw them in any time that they want to sound more affectionate. Here are some examples:
“Mañana” becomes “mañanita”
Mi princesita, quiero verte esta mañanita.
My princess, I want to see you this morning.
“Carta” becomes “cartita”
Mi amor, te fuiste sin dejarme una cartita.
My love, you left without leaving me a letter.
“Beso” becomes “besito”
Mi corazoncito, dame un besito.
My sweetheart, give me a little kiss.
My “ex-novia” (ex-girlfriend) has an “apodo” (nickname) that people call her. Her “apodo” or nickname that they call her is “Barbie.” Can you guess what I call her when I am trying to sound affectionate?
I call her “mi barbicita”
And can you guess what she calls me???
She calls me “mi negrito.”
Obviously, “mi negrito” is not considered offensive here in Colombia. But I would imagine that if I were to ask my dark- skinned Dominican friends in Nueva York, they’d probably all agree that “mi morenito” sounds better than “mi negrito.”
