What does ma chère mean in English?

Answer 1

My dear, my beloved (addressed to a female)

It's the French way of saying 'My love' or 'My heart'... It can be formal (especially in letters) or somewhat of a pet term used towards someone you love tenderly -or simply appreciate-, from a baby to a friend.

Answer 2

There are two different variations of the word.

If you are saying it to a male, then the correct word is "Mon Chéri".

If you are saying it to a female, the correct word is "Ma Cherie".

It basically means "My sweetheart" or "My darling".

Answer 3

Je t'aime ma chérie means I love you my darling (addressed to a woman)

Answer 4

The phrase 'ma cherie' means my darling. In the word-by-word translation, the possessive adjective 'ma' means 'my'. The noun 'cherie' means 'beloved, darling female'.

Answer 5

my darling, addressing a boy. Someone answered "my dear" but it is false as "mon cher", without the -i- means "my dear". Big difference.

Answer 6

My sweetheart, honey, darling.
