Untranslatable “Love Words” Posted August 4, 2013 by Aim Danışmanlık It is interesting that we have tens of “love words” that we use everyday. I call them “love words” in quotation because I couldn’t find a better phrase for them. :) The other day, some of my friends call me as “gülüm”. When we translate this into English, it is “my rose”. It sounds quite funny when translated. :) “Gül” means “rose” in Turkish and we use it as a “love word” among family members or close friends. Similarly there is “kuzum”, the translation is “my sheep”. :) I know how funny it sounds. Then I just thought the English “love words”. There is “honey” and we directly use it in Turkish but it is a recent usage – probably just pass from English with the new generation and television. I’m sure there are tens of untranslatable “love words” in your language as well… What about sharing them with us? :)
