term of endearment

Well I just checked Focal.ie and couldn't find the translation for this, anyone got any suggestions for 'term of endearment?! Doesn't have to be literal.. more than likely won't be! Also another thing while I'm here... I'm wondering what term of endearment you would use with your sister, as in equivalent of 'sis', that…

A thaisce is one that I use with my friends, and 'a stór' sounds to me like for a pet, or your husband and I don't use it so far.

Is there anything else that would translate for use when speaking to your sister?

Go raibh míle maith agaibh as aon smaointí ar bith:)

'Ainm ceana' is the irish for a pet name. You could use 'a chroí' with your sister - it's not as mushy as you'd think!
