Nicknames for Tamara
Colombians are very friendly and love to call each other, and us, little nicknames - like cutie or honey. The old lady selling bananas, the gruff man on the street, the dangerously talkative minibus driver, 16-year old military men, street cleaners... all had a pet name for Tamara (although Paul got a few too.) Our favorites:
Mi Amor (my love)
Mi Vida (my life)
Mi Reina (my queen)
Mi Corazon (my heart)
Princessa
Dona (as in respected, not donut)
Mami, mamita, mamisita
Muneca (doll)
Paul only got the occasional amigo, maybe an amiguito, and once a jeffe.
