MANTEQUILLA!!!!

PERFORADORA!!!!

Answer 8

I love the words; Te amo y Cariño when spoken sincerely

also chica, ¿Cómo te llamas? the ll sound is an exciting sound

There are soooooo many words in Spanish that I love where do I stop ? lol

Answer 9

When I am in a state of insobriety I love to say ,¡ Carri mi a casa por favor!

One needs to be a little sloshed to fully appreciate the flow and cadence.

lol wouldn't it be llevarme a casa, por favor? lol - FELIZ77, AGO 31, 2010

Answer 10

I'm undecided between "sonrisa" and "cabrón". When I make up my mind I'll vote in the poll.

(Heidi, I have a curiosity: what does 'cielito lindo' mean in the famous song? Certainly not "beautiful little sky", I suppose)

Cielo can also mean Darling/precious one so it could also mean 'my beautiful little darling' - FELIZ77, AGO 31, 2010
