We've all heard the familiar "mi amor" and "amorcito" and the like. But I think I heard a new one instant messaging with a chica yesterday - "mi vida". Anyone heard that one used before?

Yes, that is the translation - wondering if anyone has heard it used in this manner before...

A former favorita used to call me that all the time - "mi vida". I know what it means translated, but I just assumed that she used it as a term of endearment, similar to "mi amor". :roll:

A ladyfriend from three years ago used this often. It was part of her normal rotation of "my love", "honey", my heart", "my life", etc, etc.

It was a welcomed respite from the occasional "you sorry dog".

Yes, it's very common. Along the lines of "mi amorsote", "mi cielo", "mi corazon", "mi principe", "mi razon de ser", etc...

You'll get:
mi vida
mi cielo
mi querido
mi amor
mi tesoro
cosita...

The last one seems to be specific to Costa Rica, as I've never heard anyone outside of CR use it.

And here I thought we were just friends... :roll: :wink:

Seriously, this girl is a longtime favorita, but I'm pretty sure her attraction to me doesn't go beyond the bit of financial support I periodically provide her...

My wife is Nicaraguan and frequently calls our son "mi cosito lindo".

A couple chicas tried to explain these words but I didn't quite get it all - "oy" means what? They did say it's not the same as "oui" (or "ui"?) which they say along with- papi rico, oui, papi oui, que rico papi, oui, oui, oui! :lol:

It's a great term... maybe it's central american... I've never dated a C.A. girl other than a tica...
