So we've got a message.
A voice message today.
Yay!
Another voice message.
Yeah.
We love voice messages.
This is from Manami-san today.
Alright, Manami-san.
You ready?
Let's do this!
Hello Kevin and Yamachan.
How are you?
Hi!
Do you remember me?
How have you been?
Good.
I'm Manami.
Yes, we went on a date in the delusion.
In the what?
By the way, today I have some questions about...
Wait, wait. They're in the what?
...names like "We Vin".
I'm Manami.
Yes, we went on a date in the delusion.
By the way, today I have some questions about nicknames like "Babe", "Baby", "Dear", "Dearest", "My Love", "Darling", "One and Only".
Do you have any image of these words?
And how different between them?
For example, it's like "Love", "Deep Love", and "Popular in Young Generation" or "Old Generation" and so on.
Also, do you have favorite nickname?
If you talk about this topic, I'll be happy. Thank you!
Oh! Thank you!
First of all, I need to figure out what she said.
I guess, "Edel".
What's that?
Like...
"Date".
"Edel".
"Date".
Is that Japanese?
Is that English?
I don't know.
"Edel"?
Yeah, like "Idea".
You know, the most likable.
Oh, "Ideal"?
"Ideal".
Oh, "I-D-E-A-L"!
Yes, that's right.
Oh, okay, okay. Got it.
"Ideal".
Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it.
I guess so.
You know, we've got a message like "Risou no Deito".
Oh, okay, got it, got it, got it, got it.
I guess so.
Alright, I get it now.
So, this is Manami-san from "Ideal".
"Ideal Date".
"Ideal Date".
Got it.
And she's asking about like,
03:00
like my, my...
Honey.
Baby.
My only one.
The one and only.
And things like that.
Yeah.
This time, she also sends some messages.
Oh, that's sweet.
That's helpful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Umm...
Hello, Kevin-san, Yama-chan-san.
How are you? This is Manami.
I've been asked to talk about my "Ideal Date" before.
I've been thinking about posting it again, but I haven't had the time to do so.
When I was crying about the voice messages you sent me the other day,
my heart was breaking.
Now, let me tell you about how to call your lover.
There are many different ways to call your lover in English.
But are there any differences in intimacy or trends in different generations?
And I'd like to hear your ideal way of calling your lover.
I'm looking forward to your next live stream.
It's getting colder and colder, but please take care of your health.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I think, uh...
the popular options are, um...
Uh... baby.
Baby.
Babe.
Babe.
Sweetie.
Hmm.
Uh...
Hmm.
Babe, baby, sweetie, um...
What do I hear?
Uh...
Yeah, those three.
Hmm.
Most popular.
Yeah.
Most common ones.
Common.
You don't really say the one and only, like...
Hmm.
during casual conversations.
That's...
Yeah, you wouldn't say that.
You know how in Japan you say, like, "Mama, Papa," and everything?
Hmm.
We don't have that.
Okay.
Even with kids.
You know how in Japan when you have kids, you call your husband "Papa"?
Ah, okay.
Or you call your wife "Mama"?
Yeah.
You don't call your wife "Mama" because of the kids, right?
True, true.
We don't have that.
We don't call...
So you don't call...
"Mom."
Yeah.
"Dad."
You say that to your actual mom and dad.
Yeah.
Um...
Yeah, because in Japan we say "Okasan" to your wife.
Right, right.
Even when your kids aren't involved in the conversation, right?
Yeah.
Um...
Right, so in the U.S.
Honey, baby, sweetie, sweetheart.
Sweetheart, yeah.
Fourth one.
Sweetheart is popular too.
Uh...
Yeah.
Hmm.
What about like "darling"?
Yeah.
You don't say that?
Yes, "darling" is a thing.
"Darling" is also...
You say that too.
Okay.
Right, so we got a fifth one.
Hmm.
06:00
Sometimes, I guess, "my love," it's not casual.
But like you just...
"Come here, my love."
You know, more of a sexy mood.
Ah, okay, okay.
Uh...
Hmm.
Yeah.
Okay.
Somewhere along those lines.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Do you have any favorite?
My favorite?
Yeah.
Uh...
I would love to be called...
My sweet...
Uh...
Uh...
Pepperoni pizza.
Or something like my sweet...
Uh...
My nachos.
Yeah.
Is that possible?
My sweet cinnamon roll.
Oh, whatever.
That's cute.
I mean, so there's just another option that you call, like, "my sweet chocolate," you know, those...
Yes.
...way.
That's an option too.
Okay.
You can create your own customized way of calling the other person.
Okay.
It just has to be something lovable.
Okay.
You know?
Just like the love...
Just like how you love the other, your significant one, right?
Okay.
Your partner.
Okay.
You love that cinnamon roll or pizza too.
Right?
You just...
I mean...
It's the same...
Like, you...
It's lovable, right?
You just have to...
It just has to be lovable as well, right?
As well.
Okay.
So...
Okay.
So there's an, you know, room for argument.
All right.
Okay.
Let's...
Okay.
You're a shot.
Because, of course, I like pizza.
Uh-huh.
But, you know, for me, like, it's a different level.
Okay.
Like, when you love somebody and love pizza, it's completely, like...
Okay.
A different level.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
To me.
Uh-huh.
So, like...
But for you and for most of people in the United States, that's the same thing.
Like, when you are called, like, "Oh, my sweet pepperoni pizza," that means you are loved.
Okay.
Okay.
For real?
Okay.
Okay.
I was kind of just joking.
Oh, yeah.
But for real, you only say that when you're, like, in a fun mood.
Okay.
When you're joking around.
But you can say that.
You can say that, though.
Oh, okay.
But you have, like, this joking around vibe.
Okay.
Right?
My sweet cinnamon roll.
Yeah.
It can be.
It's a joke.
It's...
Yeah.
It's funny.
Okay.
Okay.
All right?
But I guess most...
Most used ones...
09:01
Baby.
Baby.
Feels natural.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
William, I have a question about those "my sweet pepperoni" or "my sweet hot dog" things.
Yeah.
Literally, I can say anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, literally anything you love.
Like, "my sweet..."
Like, if I love plants.
Uh-huh.
My sweet Sansevieria.
Sure.
Is that possible?
Yeah.
Like, if I love...
Well, I guess it's more common to say something that's, like, sweet.
Like, tasty sweet.
Yeah, tasty.
But you can.
You know, it's customizable.
Pepperoni pizza is not sweet.
Absolutely.
So it's customizable.
Okay.
It's something that you really love.
Oh, my sweet pizza toast.
Sure.
Oh.
Sure.
My sweet nachos.
Sure.
But, you know, it's more natural if, you know, loving nachos is a thing for you two.
For both of you.
Okay.
It would make more sense, you know?
Oh.
It would be awkward to say that out of nowhere, right?
Of course.
If your partner doesn't know that you love nachos or whatever you're gonna say.
Like, if we both love Doraemon, then you can say, "My sweet Doraemon."
Sure.
Really?
My sweet Doraemon?
Sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like, "I'm your very own Doraemon, baby."
Like that.
Like, if we both love a movie called Terminator.
Oh, my sweet Terminator.
Yeah, I mean, that's...
Is that can be possible?
See, it makes more sense if it's lovable, right?
Terminator...
Well, if you really adore and love Terminator, yeah, sure.
But, like, it's kind of hard to...
Okay, so it needs to be cute.
Yeah, it would be more natural, I guess, you know?
Ah, yes.
I understand that.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's fun.
It's fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's fun.
Okay.
It's cute.
It's only for, like, lovers.
Yeah.
It's not...
I guess you can do it to your child, too.
Oh, your child.
Right?
If you really love your child.
Oh, my sweet Doraemon.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
But not to your friend, your friends.
No.
Okay.
You wouldn't say that.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is there any differences, like, between, like, those "baby" and "honey" and those...
Okay.
So this is just my image of those words.
But "honey" is...
I feel like you would say it to people who...
Your wife, if you're only married, not girlfriends.
Okay.
Babe and baby.
12:01
I feel like "babe" is more...
A little bit more sexier.
Oh, really?
Baby's more cuter and casual.
Ah.
Okay.
What else do we have?
Sweetheart.
Sweetheart, darling.
Sweetheart...
I feel like...
Hmm, sweetheart.
A little bit older.
Hmm.
Sweetie.
Sweetie.
A little bit older.
Okay.
But not as old as sweetheart.
Okay, okay.
But not...
It doesn't feel young.
But that's just my image, though.
Okay.
Right?
Other people have other image towards it.
So I have to say that this is only my image.
Okay, okay.
I don't think it's like a...
Like a common knowledge.
Okay.
Everybody has different...
Yeah.
View, images.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
So I can't speak for all of the...
Okay.
The users of those words.
Okay.
But yeah, that's my personal image of it.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just 30 minutes.
Okay.
All right.
That was fun.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thanks for listening, guys, my sweet podcast listeners.
Wait, that's too direct.
Okay, let's do...
Let me do it better.
Okay.
Thanks...
Hmm.
Thanks for listening, my sweet pepperoni eaters out there.
I know all of you guys love pepperoni.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
