How would you translate the Spanish word “cariño” into English?
When I call my children “cariño”, I am calling them “darling”. When I call my husband “cariño”, I call him “my love”. The word is a term of affection, like “sweetheart”. I’ve always thought of that word being almost as a fill-your-own type of meaning. (Dear, doll, sweets, precious, babydoll, babe…) Whatever feels good to you, you know? It’s foolproof 🙂 Hope that gives you some clarity.
How would you translate the Spanish word “cariño” into English?
I don’t know if there’s a specific word in English it can be translated into.
It relates to other feelings of love, affection, tenderness, caress, and paying attention to someone, but all of these words have a counterpart in Spanish too.
I think Carino is more sort of a “tender love”, though.
To clarify, though, I’m not a native Spanish speaker. My opinion is mainly based on the meaning of the same word in Portuguese…
How would you translate the Spanish word “cariño” into English?
If you mean “cariño” as a way to call someone, I’d say “Sweetie” or “Sweetheart” would be the better-fitting words. “Good night, sweetheart”; however, the word can also refer to affection or attachment of sorts. The way you translate it will have a lot to do with the background it’s being used in.
How would you translate the Spanish word “cariño” into English?
There is no direct translation in English for the type of love that ‘cariño’ expresses.
It is a warm affection towards anyone (not a specific type of relationship).
It can be used as a noun for someone, as in calling your child or your significant other ‘honey’ as a term of endearment.
It is a type of love so it can be translated as ‘love’.

What does the Spanish word “Amigovio” translate into English?
It’s not an accurate word but a game of words composed of amigo (friend) and novio (boyfriend).
An “amigovio” may be different things:
- Someone who is more than a friend but not quite a boyfriend (friend with benefits, perhaps?).
- Or someone with whom you have a platonic relationship.
In any case, he’s not exactly a boyfriend, but he’s not just a friend either. He’s something in between. In the case of a female, it would be “amigovia”.

What is the English translation of the Spanish word “pida”?
“Pida” means “ask for”; it’s an imperative form (i.e. giving a command) when using formal language. In informal language, it would be “pide”.
However, both “pide” and “Aida” will be found in other contexts:
- Quiero que pida permiso – I want him to ask for permission

As with all these questions, it is not possible to be sure of giving an entirely correct answer when you give just one isolated word; it needs to be in context.

What is the English translation of the Spanish word ‘tu’?
The English translation of the Spanish word “tu” is “you” (singular). This word is the familiar form of “you” in Spanish, which is used when addressing someone you know well, such as a family member, friend, or romantic partner. The formal form of “you” in Spanish is “usted.”
How does the Spanish word “Empalagar” translate into English?
Empalagar is a hard word to translate. Empalagar happens when something to eat, typically (too) sweet, makes you tired or even ill. It can also apply to smells/odours/scents too sweet or strong, e.g. patchouli’ empalaga_tes’ me.
Finally, it can also be used for behaviours: her continuous hugs and kisses ended up being ’empalagoso.’
What is the English translation of the Spanish word Costilla?
Rib. We have 24 of those bones to make our ribcage. Many other animals are similarly designed.
The -illa ending shows its diminutive, and the word is related to the coast (the side/shore/edge of the land) in English and “costa” (coast) and “acostarse” (lie down, perhaps on one’s side) in Spanish. Also related to cuesta, meaning hillside.
All of these are initially from Latin costa=rib. Yes, all the “cost” (price) words in Spanish, English, etc., also come directly or indirectly from Latin.
What is the Spanish-to-English translation of the word “tapaderos”?
“Tapadero” comes from the verb “tapar”, which means “to cover” or “to put a lid on something”. So, “tapadero” is the object or instrument that acts as the lid.
The feminine “tapadera” has a second meaning in Spanish: it is used to describe something that is meant to hide the reality of someone’s intentions. Something as a “cover-up”.
Is it common to call a boyfriend or girlfriend “Cariño” in Spanish?
If I hear someone calling someone else “cariño,” I’ll think they escaped from a translated American movie.
I never hear someone calling “cariño” to others.
As a test, I just called “cariño” to my wife as she was passing by, and she suddenly stopped, looked at me and asked me what was wrong with me, lol.
In the place where some movies are translated to neutral Spanish, people speak like that, but as far as I’m aware, nobody in Argentina does.
How do you say “Babe” or “Sweetheart” in Spanish?
There are a few ways to say Babe or Sweetheart in Spanish. Nena or Bebé can be used for Babe. Sweetheart could be any number of terms. Cariño, Amor (which is actually “love”), novio (boyfriend/fiancé), novia (girlfriend/fiancée). You could even say, “Mi cielo”, which means “My sky” or “My heaven”. This is a VERY affectionate term that means, “You are everything to me.” Papi or Mami are also used very affectionately as terms of endearment for any loved one, child or adult. Sometimes, I call my husband “El amor de mi vida.” (The love of my life.)
How do you say “Babe” or “Sweetheart” in Spanish?
The best response is first to know which type of Spanish that person grew up with. Since they are not all the same, and each “country” has its own words/expressions that are acceptable and those that are not. Mexican Spanish, Argentinian Spanish, Peruvian Spanish, etc…
For example, I’m from Argentina, and if someone calls me “bebé,” I would probably look at them funny. But calling someone “querido – querida” is expected.
To find out the country, you can look up common phrases used there. Especially if you are trying to call someone sweetheart, it shows you took the time to learn about their culture, and you care. A bonus.
How do you say “Babe” or “Sweetheart” in Spanish?
There are a lot of words to refer to a loved one in Spanish. Depending on the age or type of relationship, there’s Babe= Bebé. This is an uncommon one and maybe a little too sappy because, unless you are out of Mexico, we don’t usually refer to our partner as a kid or a baby. (Sometimes, it is the other way around. XD)
- We tend to use lovely nicknames more than specific words because, unlike English, a Spanish word has a lot of different meanings depending on where you are. We like to shorten his/her name and nickname them by the colour of their hair or skin, like ‘Güera’ (Female) ‘, Güero’ (Male), which is a blond or ‘Negra(o)’ which is a darker skin, without being rude at all of course, they are ubiquitous and accepted. But if you don’t speak fluent Spanish, be careful or don’t use them if you think she/he can feel offended by it.
- If you don’t nickname each other, there’s ‘Amor’, which is ubiquitous, welcomed and warm, perfect for (g)boyfriends. In English, it is the literal word ‘Love’ but with a deeper meaning, which is ‘My love.’
- My dear= Querido(Male)/Querida(Female). ‘Sweetheart needs a proper translation in Spanish. But it can be compared to ‘Preciosa, Bella’ or ‘Hermosa’, which are ‘Beautiful, pretty or well ‘Sweetie’. For longer relationships, like married couples, for example, ‘Mi Vida’ (My life) is perfect because you are referring to that person as a part of yourself and the light of your life. But use it sparingly, this one’s very special and not for everyday use, unlike the last ones.
- There’s more like ‘Viejo/Vieja’, which is literal ‘Old’, and ‘Gordo/Gorda’ (Literal word for ‘Fat’) or ‘Gordito’ (More like petite and sweet). Still, in Spanish, for a partner, there’s a warm to it because it doesn’t mean you are old or fat; it’s just that there’s that trust built around each other long enough for you to call them like this. It feels good and warm, but be careful too; these names are specially for long-lasting relationships: ‘Viejo/Vieja’ when you grow old with them. ‘Gordo(a)’ is preferred for extended times with each other. Specially married couples.
