Spaniards express affection openly. “Cariño” and “mi vida” are common terms of endearment. “Tío/a” (uncle/aunt) is used informally among friends. The diminutive “-ito/a” is common, as in “guapo/a” (handsome/beautiful). Two kisses, one on each cheek, are a standard greeting among friends and family.
