How to use the Corazon?

Question

For example: Is it appropriate for a married woman to address another man, that is not her relative, as "corazon"? Especially, in a letter? What would her intention be if she does this? She, being from the Mexican culture.

Answer 1

Well, that really depends.

Here shop assistants will call you corazón or cielo

Like in England bus conductors or drivers will call you "love" (lav)

Other people only use the expression for a close relationship.

If a bus conductor called me love he would need to have a bunch of flowers for me . - ray76, May 24, 2011
