amour de ma vie
The English abbreviation "loml" (love of my life) is expressed in French as amour de ma vie.
amour de ma vie is used to refer to a person whom you love deeply. If you are looking for endearing nicknames instead of a full phrase, you might use mon trésor (my treasure) or mon petit trésor (my little treasure).
Did you know?
- In French, the word amour can be both masculine and feminine, though it is usually masculine. Using the feminine form is an older, poetic tradition often found in classic literature to describe an intense, passionate love.
- In French culture, the term amour de ma vie is often reserved for a soulmate or a once-in-a-lifetime partner, making it significantly more weighty than the casual English 'loml' used on social media.
- While English uses 'my life' to describe a person, French speakers may use the term ma vie on its own as a pet name. Calling someone ma vie is a common, high-intensity term of endearment in modern French romantic relationships.
Examples in context
- Bonjour, mon amour. Tu es la lumière de ma vie.Hello, my love. You are the light of my life.
