sweetie
A colloquial, affectionate pet name for a loved person, comparable to 'Schatz' (sweetheart) or 'Liebling' (darling).
„Schatzi, kommst du bitte mal?“, rief sie aus der Küche.
'Sweetie, could you come here for a moment?' she called from the kitchen.
'Schatzi' (sweetie) is a term of endearment derived from 'der Schatz' (sweetheart/treasure). The ending '-i' is often used colloquially in German to form pet names and express special closeness or cuteness.
Mein Schatzi hat mir Blumen mitgebracht.
My sweetie brought me flowers.
Although 'Schatzi' (sweetie) can refer to a male or female person, the word itself is neuter: 'das Schatzi'. This is typical for pet names and diminutives in German.
Das ist mein Schatzi, wir sind seit zwei Jahren zusammen.
This is my sweetie; we've been together for two years.
'Schatzi' (sweetie) is very informal and is used almost only in direct address within a romantic relationship or a very close family relationship. It expresses great familiarity.
„Schatzi, kannst du mir helfen?“, fragte er seine Frau.
'Sweetie, can you help me?' he asked his wife.
darling / treasure
Schatz and Schatzi can refer to the same loved person. Schatz is the less marked affectionate form of address. Schatzi is colloquial and usually sounds more playful and more cutesy; it fits when that particularly familiar tone is intended.
Nora verabschiedet sich verspielt von ihrem Partner mit den Worten: „Bis später, Schatzi.“
Nora says goodbye to her partner playfully: “See you later, sweetie.”
Nora verabschiedet sich von ihrem Partner mit den Worten: „Bis später, Schatz.“
