querido
Dear in Spanish
Querido is Spanish for dear or beloved, used as a term of endearment.
In English contexts, it appears in letters, dialogue, or when code-switching: Querido, I've missed you.
The feminine form is querida.
Like other borrowed endearments, it carries warmth that English equivalents sometimes lack.
