Words that the bride and groom say in other languages
Did you know that in other languages they call their boyfriends cauliflower, flea or elephant?
Sounds funny. But the meaning goes a little further. Linguistic mentor Paul Noble defines it as the linguistics of love in his book «Destination language courses«
We see some examples.
1. “Egg with eyes”
How romantic! He is a great compliment. For this culture to have the oval face is synonymous with beauty as evidenced by paintings through the years.
2. Little elephant
The safest thing is that in Latin America you will receive a slap if you think of calling your girlfriend an elephant. 😂 But for a Thai you will be sweetening her ear. In that culture, elephants are loved because they bring good luck.
3. Little cabbage
Small cabbage (French: Petit chou). “Chou” (cabbage or cabbage) gives the idea of something small and round, so “chou” is the equivalent of “heart”, “love” or “honey”.
But if they use double “choucho” means “Dear”.
4. Squash
If the word “Chuchu” (chayote) you add the ending “zinho”which means “small”, can help a Brazilian to show your love.
5. My flea
The French use the wordma puce«, which means my flea to speak affectionately to your crush. The relationship of the word flea with love is not very well known.
6. Gazelle
According to the poets, a hunter can die of love after a single gaze from a gazelle. So if someone ever calls you a gazelle it could mean that You have captured his heart with a single glance.
7. Sinking fish, falling geese
And to melt the heart of a Chinese you will have to record this phrase. This phrase came from history about the most beautiful woman from Chinese history: Xi Shi.
When she looked at a lake, the fish were so dazzled that they forgot to swim and gradually sank to the bottom.
If the spectator was a flying goose they would forget to flap their wings and would plummet.
So fish sinking, geese falling, it is the same as saying, you are as beautiful as Xi Shi.
8. Fruit of my heart
More than to express love as a couple, this term is currently used to express affection for children.
It is widely used in advertising directed at families: “The best gift/food/product for the fruit of your heart.”
Oh love!
The language of love. Is there someone who understands it perfectly? I do not think so. Simple words move emotions. Feelings. Wishes.
Love is Strange. Pretty. Pure. Unique. What do you think of the language of love?
