Cultural Note

Schatz (literally 'treasure') is by far the most common German term of endearment between romantic partners. It is used so universally that it has almost become a default — equivalent to 'honey' or 'babe' in English. Diminutive forms like 'Schatzi' or 'Schätzchen' add extra tenderness. It can also be used by parents for children.
