Liefling


Explanation:
Goeie more my Liefling.
However, love also has other translations, depending on the context, for example - Love (the feeling you obviously experience!) = Liefde, but if you say "I love you" it is translated as "Ek het jou lief" or "Ek is lief vir jou"

good morning my love
Goeie môre my liefde


Explanation:
when translating the whole sentence the word love in afrikaans is translated as liefde. one needs to be careful as if you want to use the word in a sentence such as i love you, then the translation would be ek het jou lif. The word love then is translated as lief.
