How do you say “Thank you, my love” in German to a male?

Jessica: How do you say “Thank you, my love” in German to a male?
Don’t just plug it into one of those free translators and respond- I would like to hear from someone who speaks German. Would there be a comma in the German phrase? Any special capitalization? Also, would a term other than “my love” sound more natural/common when referring to a male? Thanks!

Answer by Rain
Ich danke dir mein Lieber (to a male)

Answer by NewLene
The other translations are already grammatically wrong, just the one by Rain is correct. However, “mein Lieber” is used with a rather friendly connotation, you wouldn’t say it to your boyfriend or husband, but to a friend or cousin, used more by older people. It’s more like “my dear” maybe?

The most common thing to say to a loved one is ” Schatz”, which can be used for both a male or a female. Forget about the versions with an i in the end, that is used only by old people in southern Germany and would sound kind of corny to “normal” people.

So it would be:
Danke, mein Schatz.

Or as I would say it only:
Danke, Schatz.

Good luck!
