cariñoso
/kaɾiˈɲoso/ · B2 · adj
loving, kind, caring, warm-hearted
🤗 cariño (affection) + -oso (full of) = full of affection
Cariño means affection or fondness, and the suffix -oso works like English -ous or -y, meaning full of. So cariñoso is someone full of affection: loving, tender, and warm. Compare Spanish celoso (full of jealousy) and amoroso (full of love).
