Danish phrases of endearment?

Question

Could someone please write out some phrases a lover (man to a woman) could say in Danish with their English translation? (eg. my love, sweetheart, darling, etc...) Also, for words like darling, would the Danish say "my darling" or just "darling" in the sentence?Thanks!

Hi lips,Richard's suggestions are not bad, however they're not quite correct Danish. Some of the most common terms of endearment would be:min elskede = my beloved / my love (you can say it without min too),min kære = my dear,min skat = my dear (actually treasure) - this one you can also say without min in front,min kæreste / allerkæreste = my dearest, (but kæreste also simply means boyfriend/girlfriend).It makes no difference with these words if they're said to a man or a woman, not gender specific.There are others too, but they are more unusual, and often people will naturally make up their own words just like everywhere else. I have heard people using words such as:min (lille) blomst = my (little) flower, (for women from a man)guldklump = gold nugget,øjesten = roughly apple of my eye (old-fashioned),min yndige pige = my lovely girl (naturally to a woman 🙂 ).

mig basse = my darling (one can use with or without mig/my as you choose)kæreste = dearest or sweetheartmig elske = my loveJeg elske jer. = I love you.Du er mig hjerte lyst = You are my heart's delight.

Alycia Zemlak · Answer

Jeg elsker dig = i love younot "Jeg elske dig" or "Jeg elske die"And the word "skat" would pretty much do it for any of those words you listen. And we could say "my darling" aswell as "darling" just as in english.
