And "my love" can be mi amor, mi vida, mi cielo, mi periquito, mi cariño/a, mi querido/a... I'm sure there is a link to all these somewhere! ;o) - cristalino, Mar 26, 2011
not cariña (mi cariño when a noun-man or woman) - 0074b507, Mar 26, 2011
By 'cariña' I was actually referring to 'el individuo de un pueblo amerindio que habita entre los límites de los Estados de Anzoátegui, Monagas y Bolívar, al este de Venezuela'... pretty obvious, no? Kidding, thanks for the catch! - cristalino, Mar 26, 2011
For some time I would always slip up on "tesoro" as well...wanting to call my girl "tesora"... just sounded right! ;o) - cristalino, Mar 27, 2011

Good point, Julian... here is a short list of informal contractions that are obviously not acceptable in correct speech or written exams (just 2 situations):

And for the English learners, it's "going to" and not "gonna"... gonna is a bastardization of the former... I realize it rolls off the tongue easier but it's not proper....

This sentence can be easily translated, but I fear the word gonna is going to cause great confusion. It might help if you explain its meaning.

You go to that person, and pat his/her shoulder in an affectionate manner.
