Okay, okay, you know I trust you Sven but ... can you swear on whatever you wish that your thoughts and intentions are as pure as the sound of your beautiful language ? ;-)

Re: A Finnish welcome also (none / 1)

well, a literal translation would be 'welcome back, crumb (of cake or biscuit) - but that doesn't quite capture the colloquial sense of endearment ;-)

For instance, the British comedy series title "Auf Weidesehn, Pet" - pet was translated as muru.

Re: Dziekuje sweetheart ;-) (none / 1)

Endearment is too scarce these days not to be taken for what it is and heartily thanked for. Good to see that in our ever-changing world, the best things (and people) remain unaltered.
