Thanks, easy but sweeti from you to give the new term of endearment!
Maybe i had a mistakes so ever woman write to me a comment of my articles i write to her, kiss you, sweeti,
And the most mistake i was did, that call the shop assistance “darling”, once of them said i am not your darling, i am her for working, and she refused to sell me!
So the favorite tear i use: darling,
Kiss you,
Eve more i use love you for unknown women!
Thanks again, for the new lesson,

Alexanderalexanderov

Here in Poland we also use other sweet or shiny things to call a partner like: doughnut, precious (as a noun). We also call them using animal names like: kitty, frog (a diminutive form), honeybee, puppy, mouse (again a diminutive form).

And now an ugly example:

I’ve heard once (in a conversation between only guys) someone who asked his friend: “do you go alone or maybe with your PIG?” O_o :P I know, it is not nice, but sometimes between “dirty” guys this kind of expression exists.

Have an excelent day for all of you. You too Ronnie :*

A sweet lesson and video class. Some of these terms are often used and written in pink stories of romantic people, also with your best and loved friends. Interesting words have been Snookums, Snooky and Snuggles because I haven’t seen them before. Thanks a lot, teacher Ronnie, sweet and candy explanation.

Júlio César L Sousa

Ronnie, what about the use of “dear” and “my dear”? Are they suitable when talking to strangers? Wich terms would be?

hilariofelipe

thanks a lot Ronnie, I loved when you said: “sugar tits” lol, by the way in Mexico we also refer to loved people in short way, I meant, we use at the end of the word “ito” “ita” ex. “gordito”, “chiquita”.
Have a good day “sweety”.

Thank you, Ronnie!! Here in Colombia, we use to add a diminutive on words referring to people or objects we love. As an example, we say “bebesita”, “prince site”, “muñequita”. It applies also for people names, so you could be called “Ronniecita”. Thanks!!

In Brasil people call their partnes: “nego” for boys, and “nega” (for girls), which means like “My NIGGA; My Black” in English, but it is used not only for black people, it is used with white/latin or even asian people (that are in large number here at São Paulo’s City)!

Saitraveller

Thanks Ronnie, I’ve got 10 correct out of 10, :D and we’ve anothers kind of words in Mexico to refer love another person, but in this case “Gordo”, sometimes means love in others not, in some cases is a bad word and it depends in what way you’re saying it. Thank so much for this lesson, I learned lots of words.

ctierrez

I love your great lessons. You’re the greatest teacher.
I think here in Russia the most common are kitty (for women), sun, precious, cat (for men), fish (for kids and women), dear, goddess, doughnut, little baby. And now it’s very common to say in Russia the English word – baby(without any translation).

Hi Ronnie I am a kind of a fan of you. God bless you.

Patrick Azevedo

Thanks!! I think in my country we add “ing” or “-ng” to boyfriends’ name. I would call Jinung or Jinuring to my boyfriend Jinwoo. It’s a bit awkard in real, so I just use in mobile conversations..

Haewon1214

Diogo Assinger

mohamed581992

Hi Ronnie! Thank you for the exciting lesson about terms of endearment! :)
In Hungarian we use a lot of words with “sweet, sugar” meaning, but for example it is weird to call someone “honey”, because it is a food, so we don’t use this at all. But it is common to call someone “expensive”, I don’t know why. :D Or we use also “my star, my life, my little”.

ani8

Thanks, Ronnie
In South Korea, old grandparents call their grandchild “Puppy” or “my puppy” a lot.
we call wife “Yeobo” which means precious as much as tres

Ronnie, this class describes exactly who you are: a kindy and sweetie person. Can I call you “babe”? Lol… kisses and hugs!

kaiovinnicius

Hi Ronnie, there’s this song called “If I Were A Boy” by Beyonce and I’ve been wondering that why is it WERE instead of WAS? I thought WERE is used for more than one person?

Meester1234

    That’s a good question! It’s “were” because it’s in the subjunctive mood. Beyoncé isn’t talking about being a boy in the past; she’s talking about a hypothetical (imaginary) situation where she is a boy.

    (It’s not technically correct, but informally, many native speakers use “was”, e. g. “I wish I was a little bit taller.”)

    engVid Moderator

      Thanks Ronnie I understand now! But I am still not sure what a subjunctive mood is, could you please explain what it means or send me the link of your tutorial if you have one so I can see some more examples but if not, I wish you could do them in the future. I just want to let you know that you’re such a great teacher and you are easy to understand. I wish I had you as my English teacher at my school. I have been watching your tutorials and they are very helpful but I did not watch all of them because I’ve only watched the one that I struggled the most.

      Meester1234

Thanks a lot Ronnie I like the way you teaching!!:)

Hello Ronnie!

I’ve started to watch engVid lessons about a year or something ago.

I went to the US for few months while I was in school (about 10 years ago) – every year (for 4 consecutive years) I went for like 1 month and a half with an exchange program and I made a lot of friends.
I really love English and I use it in my everyday life. I can understand movies, songs, people talking fast (as you xD), have a conversation with people from within the US, Canada and non-english speaking countries with their different accents. I’ve got a pretty good accent (according to my American friends) and I try to watch, speak, and write in English when I can.

I’m noticing that, maybe because of lack of day-to-day conversations with natives, sometimes I forget to include a word, proverbs, common ways to say something or just jokes when I speak to someone, even though I understand everything. If I just look at the words afterwards I feel stupid for not remembering them. Plus in these days I feel like I can’t speak or understand as good as I did few years ago.
What do you think I could do to just “remove” this defect?
I’d love to move to the US for a job (so I know for sure I’ll improve everything), and I’m trying to since few years, but immigration laws and stuff give me hard times.
What do you suggest me? Would it be possible to get in touch with you in some paid speaking Skype sessions to get me in shape with my English?
If so you can contact me at a.malinverni@me.com

Thanks so much!
Love,
Andrea

Igor25

Thanks for this lesson Ronnie!

My favorite term of end endearment is “boo”, because it’s easy to pronounce in any language (I think).

I know two songs with the term “boo” – My Boo (Usher ft. Alicia Keys) and Dilemma (Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland). Great ones!

Funny how i thought “hot stuff” was a expression used to speak about sex, but the way you explain sounds more like a soft word.

mariaraquel

sodojsa

Thank you very much for your video, Ronnie! In Russian we also have such terms of endearment as “pie”, “bun”. Also are very popular words, that are related to the pets: “kittie”, “rabbit”. “Sunny” is also a very common term.

WAQAX JATT

Thank you, Ronnie! In Russia we can almost any word turn to term of endearment. From “piggie” to “raviolly”. Intonation makes the most high influence on meaning.

Julia Uzhva

Ronnie you’re the best as you keep me moving excited on this program. In education you come across different kinds of words you’ve never heard before, now word of endearment is so interesting to me,because I have never heard it before

Shitoos

Dear Ronnie, thanks a lot. I learned a lot of endearment name from this lesson. And I use them immediately on my kids, hottie、sweetpie, and so on.” you are pet.” “Mommy, I’m not your pet, I’m your baby.” We are not Scottish, we are Chinese. Sometimes, we use piggie、meat with my children which means they are part of my body, if they fell hurt, my body will fell hurt too.
