Nyingje, La!
Pretty much my favorite Tibetan word ever, nyingje apparently can mean compassion along with a few other things. Personally, whenever I see something that’s “cute” I use this word as a means of endearment. FYI ‘La’ is a term of respect placed after a name. I came across this description of nyingje by H.H. the Dala Lama:
“…our capacity for empathy is the source of that most precious of all qualities, which in Tibetan we call nying-je. Now whilst generally translated simply as compassion, the term nying-je has a wealth of meaning that is difficult to convey succinctly, though the ideas it contains are universally understood. It connotes love, affection, kindness, gentleness, generosity of spirit and warm-heartednes. It is also used as a term of both sympathy and of endearment. But most importantly, nying-je denotes a feeling of connection with others, reflecting its origins in empathy…”
Nyingje is basically a great choice as my favorite Tibetan word.
