#mo chroi

go raibh míle maith agat!!!!

Ooh, nice question. There are a few different ways. The most direct translation is “mo chroí” (my heart), pronounced muh khree with a soft kh. You could also say “a stór” (dear), pronounced ah store. A stór mo chroí reinforces the sentiment. Irish people tend to repeat things with different wording for emphasis. There’s also “a rún” (sweetheart/secret/no proper English equivalent), pronounced ah roon and “a/mo grá” (love/my love), pronounced ah/muh ghraw with a soft gh. They’re the most common ones, and they can all be mashed up together to enhance the meanings.

If this is about a character who’s your baby, you can add ín to stór and rún (making them stóirín and rúinín, pronounced store-een and roon-een) and that basically means that the subject of the remark is a little thing, usually adorable, and is an even more gentle way of conveying the sentiment.
