Beautiful Spanish words
Dulce
Sweet
This might be one of the most famous Spanish words. It gives the name of one of the most popular desserts in Latin America, the dulce de leche, which is similar to caramel.
If you are going to Argentine, by any chance, don’t miss the opportunity to try the Argentinian dulce de leche, which is the best I have ever tried!
Besitos
Little Kisses
Besitos is a cute way to say kisses. The word for “kiss” in Spanish is Beso, the suffix -ito indicates a diminutive form. So in free translation, Besitos means “little kisses”.
You can say that to loved ones, write it in a letter or an email to relatives or even close friends.
Sueños
Dreams
One of the cutest words in Spanish, in my opinion. Meaning dreams.
Now you are ready to wish ‘sweet dreams’ to your loved ones. You just have to say dulce sueños
Cielo
Sky
Although it means “sky” in English, this word is also used as a nice way to call a loved one. People usually call each other mi Cielo meaning sweetheart.
The free translation is “my sky” though.
Sonrisa
Smile
You might have bet that Sonrisa means “sunrise” because it sounds similar right?
However, this is not the case. Sonrisa actually means “smile” which is a really cute word. But also the pronunciations sound a bit funny.
Chucherias
Junk Food, unhealthy food
There it is, my favorite Spanish words of them all! Chucherias means “junk food” and junk food I mean, from burgers to candies. All these are not healthy but tasty stuff.
This word, however, is a very local word, and you won’t hear it in all Spanish-speaking countries. Otherwise, you will hear it more in the Northern Countries such as Colombia or Venezuela.
Ojala
God willing, hopefully
Ok, a bit of history now, because history is never enough!
Ojala is an expression commonly used throughout Spanish-speaking countries. It means “hopefully” but it comes from the Arabic word Insha Allah, God’s willing.
This expression was probably incorporated by the Spanish people when the Iberian Peninsula was invaded by North Africans from the Maghreb region, known as Moors.
