Peruvians show affection with warmth and creativity. “Mi vida” and “corazón” are popular terms of endearment. “Cholito/a” can be used affectionately. The diminutive “-ito/a” is very common, as in “flaquito/a” (skinny one). Hugs and a single cheek kiss are typical greetings among friends and family.
