In French, you would say “mon chéri” for addressing a male and “ma chérie” for a female. The term “chéri” translates to “darling” or “dear,” and is a term of endearment commonly used in romantic contexts.
The choice between “mon” and “ma” depends on the gender of the person you are referring to. “Mon” is used before masculine nouns, while “ma” is used before feminine nouns. Therefore, if you’re speaking to a loved one who is male, you’d use “mon chéri,” and for a female, you’d use “ma chérie.” It’s a lovely way to express affection in French!
