hello dear

Question

hello dear

Answer 1

You can say, "Hola, cariño". However, cariño does not have a feminine form (who knows why? rolleyes )

Because cariño, like amor and corazón, is a masculine noun. It is used in a somewhat idiomatic way to refer to someone just because people have chosen to do so, but its main function is that of any other masculine noun.

Hola cariño

Sonrisa is correct in saying that cariño does not have a feminine form

Sonrisa gave you an excellent link which provides a range of other alternative phrases you can use in place of the ones we have offered you.

(By the way, neither does the word, ''marido'' = husband you would have to say esposa for wife or mujer)
