What's 'Darling' in different Languages?

[atreidespl]

Polish:
- male: ukochany
- female: ukochana

No it is not. Ukochany/ukochana means beloved.

[Ano]

In russian it stands for любимая (female) / любимый (male).

Or (probably more likely) дорогая/дорогой.

Дорогая (f) — Dorogaya
Дорогой (m) — Dorogoy
Любимый (m) — Lübimiy
Любимая (f) — Lübimaya

In Italian you can say either "Cara", "Tesoro" or "Dolcezza".

I'm taking one of those, thanks!

Yeah. Liefje, lieveling or schat (also means treasure in Dutch) are the closest dutch words.

[Grozak]

Swedish it would be "Älskling", "Käring", "Käresta" depending on where you from in Sweden.

[SoulPoetry]

in Finnish you'd say either "rakas" literally meaning "lover" or "kulta" which is more like "darling".

edit: damn didn't see Finnish post on first page.

Hey boys and girls, I was just wondering if you could post how you say 'Darling' in your language since I use it to name my characters.

I already have Elskling, Darling, Querido and Liebling.
(also tried using Japanese 'Anata' but it looks pretty meh.

So enlighten me, tell me your language and how to write it and I'll use it.

Thanks!

It would be "Älskling" in Swedish, I think. Or possibly "Käraste".

Yeah. Liefje, lieveling or schat (also means treasure in Dutch) are the closest dutch words.

Lieverd would also be correct ^^

Swedish it would be "Älskling", "Käring", "Käresta" depending on where you from in Sweden.

Where I come from in Sweden, Värmland, saying "Käring" would be an insult A dialect word of "Kärring" (old hag).

"Käresta" would in english be "My love" or "My beloved".

[Burpie]

In Latvian it would be one of these:
1. dārgais (male) / dārgā (female)
2. mīļotais (male) / mīļotā (female)

(I guess these aren't really usable for naming characters, though, due to "ī" and "ļ", though.)

Kidding. I'm just amused we've got a word like this in almost every language.

Well, it's natural that all peoples have a word for someone they fancy, but they don't all literally translate to the same thing. There's subtle differences in meaning even in those closely related.

[Taianne]

Hm I think we can go with "dragă" in Romanian... Although literally it means "dear". But I can't think of anything else right now.

canım in turkish

In Finland It's ''Rakas''

[Alphamage]

In Greek, it is "Agapimeni" or "Agapimou".

[Deleted]

"Skat" in Danish.

[Durenek]

In Greek, it is "Agapimeni" or "Agapimou".

'Manari mou' also works.

In French it's "Chérie",

Yet I'm pretty sure google translator would have given you the answer faster than mmo-champion

Chéri if you talk about a man, Chérie for a woman.
