Chileans have unique ways of showing affection. “Pololo/a” is used for boyfriend/girlfriend, while “mi guagua” (my baby) is a term of endearment. The filler word “po” often punctuates affectionate phrases. Diminutives are popular, like “chiquitito/a” (tiny one). Hugs and cheek kisses are common greetings among friends and family.
