Argentines are known for their passionate expressions of affection. Common terms of endearment include “mi amor” (my love) and “querido/a” (dear). The diminutive “-ito/a” is often added to names, like “Juancito” for Juan. A unique expression is “che,” used to get someone’s attention affectionately. Physical affection, like kissing on the cheek to greet friends, is common.
