Guatemalans express affection with warmth and respect. “Mi amor” and “mi vida” are common terms of endearment. The influence of indigenous languages adds words like “chula” (cute) used affectionately. Diminutives like “-ito/a” are frequent. A single kiss on the cheek is common among friends and family.
