List of Common German Terms of Endearment

Love is always in the air. Where there are people, there's always some love to give and receive. And of course, nothing says 'love' like terms of endearment. Which is why, here, we're gonna have a look at a useful list of German terms of endearment.

Did you know?
In a recent survey conducted, by German magazines, it was found many Germans often use animal names for their loved ones.
Where there are people, love is always lurking around the corner. Some words emote the speaker's affection, rather than their meaning, and nothing sounds sweeter than the soft whispers of words that send you blushing. Every language has its charms, though, some may not associate words such as love, romance or terms of endearment with Germans, they my friend are sadly mistaken. Terms of endearment are not only used by lovers or spouses, but also for children. Such terms usually hold some resemblance to the person or to the meaning attached to the word. For instance, when you call a child, 'bug' or 'kitten', it is usually because the child is small and delicate. Here's a list of terms of endearment in German, that you can use for him, her, kids, and in general.
