words for lovers

In Norwegian, you don’t refer to your romantic partner as a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. You say “kjæreste”, which is gender neutral and literally translates to “the dearest”.

In Swedish you refer to your boyfriend/girlfriend by saying ”älskling” which translates into ”my beloved one”

And in Finnish you say “mulkvisti” which means “one I don’t hate as much as the others” - Nik Malahosky
