Words of endearment you call for a special someone or a family member!

haha..zearah you're funny... but no offense, i think your mom should not address anyone in your house as "bwisit" coz i think its something bad to hear...like me if somebody told me that i am "bwisit" i get hurt and offended...good that my parents did not ever use that word to us...by the way... my parents just call each other with their nicknames...when angry with their full name! hahaha...and to me and my brother they call us in our nicknames too and sometimes when they are happy with us and wants to show some sweetness, they call us "anak"(my child) to my brother"bunso"(youngest child), and of course when they are angry, they call us in our first full name! hehehe with stress.... me, i call my husband"be" (i use to call him babe but as time goes by it changes to baby, then bebe then be for short...!) and he also calls me that way...but when i am angry...i can't call him anything coz i don't want to talk to him and i don't want to see him...but if the situation calls...i just call him HOY!

Endearment inside our house is unique ,Oh i don't know but for me it is unique. We call our mother and father Papa and Mama, they call us by this name Jek for my younger brother actually his name is Jason. Lakimats for my older sister because she have big eyes and Sima for me, short for Simangot, because I used to do that when I was young and I was snobbish. But when my parents especially my father need something from me, he will call me "Anak, Anak na maganda!" talking about pambobola hahahahaha.

When my parents are in a good mood and happy with me they call me Kare (my name is Kara). But when they are mad at me or something like that they call me Kara Nicole. If I hear my middle name I know to suck up to them lol.

In our home, mama use just one name to our father, his nickname. When she is angry she call him with stressed name but still her nickname, She calls us by our nickname and sometimes our real name either she is angry or not. It influence me that i call my cousin in their name or nickname too. I call my classmate with their nickname and real name. I call some other people in their real name or nickname. I call my younger brother in their shorter real name and their nickname. I do not really use any endearment word that mama also don't.

hi Zearah, you have revealed the secrets of your father and mother, most of the families live like your parents, do not worry, i to also call all my lady staff with their original name,if i found some thing fault in their work i call them as Subbamma, an old telugu name in our tradition

hi zearah,i find your discussion so cute..hehe! yes its really true that when wer'e in the mood we love to say those sweet nicknames that we invent or made exclusive only to our loveones.my husband and i call each other as "dear" ever since we had a relationship(boyfriend/girlfriend).and i call my 2 kids "anak","palangga",or "bait" :) i only call them in thier names when im mad at them..hehe! good day!

Yes, terms of endearments. I really like it when my mom goes "anak, can you please do this?" I don't really know what "anak" means, something like "my child" or something like that, right? Well anyway, it just makes me feel cherished when she uses that word. The love of my life calls me honey/hun, and the occasional "punk" - when he uses that word, I know he's in a playful mood. Then it's ok to just play around and talk trash in front of his face, and he'll be cool with it. When he uses honey/hun - it's not necessarily the word, it's the tone. Then I'll be able to tell what kind of mood he's in.
