Cute Nicknames for Your Significant Other in Uruguayan Spanish

Uruguayan couples often use sweet nicknames like “Gordi” (short for gordito/a, little fatty), “Mi amor” (my love), and “Cariño” (darling). You might also hear “Bonito/a” (beautiful), “Precioso/a” (precious), or “Mi cielo” (my sky/heaven). For an Uruguayan twist, try “Botija” (kid, used affectionately) or “Mi mate dulce” (my sweet mate, referring to the popular drink).
