So then I cut it down to cute and this is what I got

See, and here is another close one. I'm interpreting the first one as beloved, like a husband/wife--intimate relationship. Now this one is a BETTER match but the first one isn't horrible.

If you ever need any other Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu translations please feel free to give me a PM or Email. I live near a city in the UK called Leicester that has a very large Asian population. Where I work (a US company ), the shop floor workforce is probably about 70-80% asian, mostly Indian or Pakistani in origin; so I'm sure I could find a work colleague to help you out

Thanks Goofyish. I'm currently dating an Indian man. We will see how "chikna" works tonight!

***********, "chikna" went over quite well. He was surprised when I called him that - said he never dreamed a white woman would call him chikna!

Thanks again!
