Question Japanese Terms of Endearment? - 06-03-2009, 01:31 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew any. Specifically between two ""Involved"" boys or to a younger female friend. Any help would be great. Like...Honey, sweetheart or dear...or anything like that.

2nd, stay on topic dude.

3rd. I used to call my ex koibito when we were dating (it means lover, gf or bf)
I'm pretty sure if you have a nice nickname for your lover in japanese then it will be fine.

I don't understand the relationship. Two boys dating each other? What does the younger female friend have to do with them?

Koibito as a nickname seems very direct. It literally means "lover", but not in an endearing way, but like "life partner".

Er....kinda. And what someone would say to a younger female friend as either a nickname or addressing them playfully.

Sorry, I can't help you with "kinda". I would have to know in concrete terms to be able to give you a term.

A younger female friend could be called by her name and then add "~chan" to the end. Often the name is shortened to the first or first two syllables and then add "~chan".

Michi -> Mi-chan

Sachiko -> Sa-chan
