How do you express your feelings for someone in Hebrew?
Shalom!
I am looking for some nicknames (e.g. sweetheart, my beloved, ...) and some phrases to express feelings towards friends, family and partner, since my dictonary and phrasebooks aren't really helpful with that...
Thank you in advance!!!
L’hitraot, Ina.

When me and my wife became parents, around 10 years ago, I tried to document all the nicknames she used to call our daughter. I will not repeat those I still remember because they all were invented by her, and they were meaningless in Hebrew.
As for today, when I talk with them by phone, I call them מתוקה (metuká) and מתוקות (metukót).
My father in law who is 93 years old, tend to use the Yiddish origin "mámele" (as you can guess - a very old fashion option).
For mor trendy option, you'd better ask the young ones here.. ;-)
