What do you call your partner - darling, sweetheart, babe? Turns out, there are many more inventive terms of endearment used around the world, including 'egg with eyes', 'my little cabbage' and 'cute nose'.

So we decided to illustrate some of our faves.

I think it is "chou" as in "chou à la crème", the pastry.

    Yes, because two halves make a whole :)

    Right, because when we talk about someone's partner, we say he/she is his/her "half-orange". It's not that common, though, there are many more expressions, but just for the pic I like it even more. :)

    "Mi Media Naranja" to be exact. Because we are both juicy and then we squish each other!

    i've lived in spain and this is like saying my other half. i dont think it's an actual term of endearment per se. just a way to say this is my other half (my half- orange).

    This is a typical Spanish expression. I live in Spain. It's everywhere.

    Which 'arabic' is that? You have 22 arabic speaking countries and each country has its own dialect. It's like saying 'latin' for france

    Actually "matia mou" means "my eyes". "My little eyes" would be "mikra mou matia" .
