What about ‘babe’ ?

Re: Hubby / Wifey

@kakaballi

babe >>>>> jani

Babe = jaani on the eeeewness scale.

Or wait…maybe not. Let’s slow down and analyze here cuz there are so many variables.

Babe/baybbbieee (said in a fobby accent)…< jaani.

Oh no! I love babe. You should try sometime rv unless you are too old to be called a babe

Re: Hubby / Wifey

@TLK

so how do you explain the term "jaani dushman’?

LOL, that can only work as a term of endearment if you reverse it: Dushman jaani. How kinky.

Yuck!!!

How about “My old lady” and “my old man”?

btw, ‘buddhi’ is frequently used in Punjabi. I’m not sure if it evolved from ‘old lady’ or vohti.

[TLK]

Re: Hubby / Wifey

No lady is too old to be called a babe. It depends upon the age of the person who is calling the lady a babe. A 65 years old man calling his 60 years old wife ‘babe’, is perfectly kosher.

in rural areas, older couple call each other “baRe miyaaN” and “baRii Bi”

I thought those terms are generally for older people. Never heard spouses call each other those.

Other options for you: honey bee, jelly bean, gorgeous, love, darling, sweetheart, honey bun, buttercup, that senseless woman.

replace “aray” to “ajii” to make it more interesting and more traditional.
