encanto
charm; enchantment; darling
Pronunciation
/enˈkanto/
Cultural Note
Encanto works as both a noun (charm) and a term of endearment (darling). Calling someone 'encanto' is warm and affectionate, used in both romantic and friendly contexts. In Spain, it's very common — waiters might even call customers 'encanto.' The verb 'encantar' (to enchant/love) gives us the popular phrase 'me encantas' (I'm enchanted by you/I love you).
📝 Example Sentences
