Okay. Texan here. Sweetheart actually has 3 main meanings. They are contextual: •Term of endearment for a person you like. “See ya later Sweetheart!” •Someone who is actually sweet or kindhearted. Can be used by strangers, but can be interpreted as condescending due to the 3rd interpretation… •Someone who is very confused, wrong, or stupid. Think of it like calling a tiny cute little animal an idiot. If you’ve fucked up and you don’t even know it, the most ruthless thing an old lady can say to you is “Oh, sweetheart.”
Let's face it, when someone calls you "sweetie" or "sweetheart," and they're doing so because they're a genuinely nice person, it makes your day better. Southern charm goes both ways, but not everyone has it. I sure as hell don't.
Yeah, generally you hear it from what Asians would classify as “Aunties”. Also, In the south they would use Sugar, Honey, or Sweetcheeks, things like that depending on the person.
No joke everytime when another woman calls me "sweetie" or "sweetheart" I instantly think of my mother and grandmother calling me that; it really made my day.
Henya is really a sweetheart. She's really sweet and can melt our heart Truly Henya moment of all time, she was so smug and suddenly get hit by the truth xD
Is incredible how Henya being a Smol and Cute Gremlin makes me think all the time she's a little kid 🤣🫖. She's so damn adorable all the time i watch her ❤️.
Where I come from, Sweetheart is a term of endearment for those close you as well as those who are genuinely kind and good. Henya is truly a Sweetheart to many of us.
I would be to embarrassed & self conscious to say this to your face in person as we aren't related but as I'm safe behind a screen where people can't see me, you are sweetie. Your fun videos brighten my day.
Considering all the things they could have said. Bless them for having the patience and understanding to know you didnt know english well and were trying your best.
It really depends on what country you're from as to what sweetheart implies. in the south in the US it can be a term of endearment for children, or adults, it's pretty universal. But if they say "Bless her heart" chances are it's a nice way of saying "Ya stupid."
It isn’t necessarily only for kids though. It’s a term of endearment usually given from older adults to younger adults or children. It can also have romantic connotations as well.
Sweetheart can be used in multiple different meanings. Its true that it can be used in a way of old ladies calling a kid that but then it can be used as a lovers term, in a polite talking way (often used in the south of US) or when someone thinks someone else is really adorable and sweet. The last term fits well on you Henya, you are a really sweet person so Henya you are our sweetheart.
Maybe thats true regionally. In the south its used often as a term of endearment saying like your adorable. In the east its used as an insult NICE TURN SIGNAL SWEETHEART! and the west doesn’t use at all.
Henya, the closest thing in japanese is probably the "chan" suffix, or maybe "kun". In either case, not anything like sexy, maybe more like cute, in a platonic way
I think it depends on the age of the person saying it. If it is someone your ahe. They may have naughty intentions. But if it is someone old. Then they can call someone young enouugh to be their daughter sweetheart
you know what makes this even funnier? the comment section not knowing that Henya said before she's actually really short and gets mistaken for a child all the time. 😂😂😂
Yeah, "sweetheart" and its shortened forms are diminutives, typically meant to convey cuteness, youth, and smallness. Complimentary, but with a specific intent.
"Sweetie" and "Sweetheart" are terms of endearment... normally, speaking. Depending on the context it can also be a very degrading term, in this case it isn't... but, it can be. As Henya is still learning English and all the complexities of English compared to other languages. Learning the distinction of terminology is an important thing.
In the south Sweetie, Sweetheart, and the like are said as a term of endearment. By the time I was 20 I had probably been called that 23464543 times😂😂😂 It might be said more to young people, but I have literally heard people that were 80+ be called that as well.
Sweetheart is a complicated term used in southern U.S. To someone related it means someone you like and you think is a good person. With strangers, if a woman uses it, it is a harmless term to refer to someone without knowing their name. If a man uses it, it could mean 'little kid' or maybe 'babe'... Both genders can use it sarcastically to someone not paying attention or who may be slow.
Sweetheart and sweetie are used by Boomers when talking to people of no real consequence, too. Again, that would include kids, but can include new employees, or random passersby.
Where in the US was she born, again? That is very common in the South. I love the Southern terms of endearment. Coming with that Southern drawl. And from different age and gender groups.
sweetheart has many uses someone who is attractive. hey sweetheart how are you doing. a older person to a younger person. oh hello there sweetheart. feeling pity for an idiot. no sweetheart not like that. something bad happened to you. oh sweetheart I'm so sorry to hear that.
In my neck of the south we mainly use "Hon". Which is short fo "Honey". Which is a similar expression like "sweetheart". It's mainly an expression the older generation say to the younger generation but can get the wrong idea to someone not familiar with it.
It can be used how she initially thought but is more commonly used when addressing a cute younger person. In Atlantic Canada you'll hear people use "My love" instead of Honey/Sweetheart/Sweetie.
I feel like the Japanese equivalent would be “kawaikochan” (~”cutie”) (someone else mentioned “ojouchan”). Basically, you use it toward ppl you think are cute &/or ppl you like. While that’s oftentimes romantic partners or beloved family members, some ppl are naturally friendly & use it on many/all ppl they meet, while others use it on strangers they see as cute &/or hot, and others use it as a subtle way to show superiority (think of Kaguya-sama’s “okawaii koto”). And for better or worse, the main overlap of all the above categories is “younger kid”. 😅
She's gonna realize on stream one day that Matara calls her "sweetie/sweetheart/honey" reguarly. it will be a great clip moment!
To be fair, Mata says that to everyone. But yea, it'll be great.
This comment has made me realize that Mata is actually just an old southern lady 🤣
@@noahneault6987there's a reason why she is mom to so many people ~
Well, Henya can sometimes be really an adorable little kid. So it is not wrong to call her a sweetheart.
i agree... 2:18 was da me \o/ pfffft

Not a Texan but you hit the nail right on the head
Or, my personal favorite. "Oh, bless your heart".
and let's be honest 2:50 ish was for the third lmao
Sorta like saying "Bless their heart." lol
Yeah and I’m from Louisiana, and I can agree with you on that. And seeing this, all I can say is; ‘Oh bless your heart’. Lol!!!
Let's face it, when someone calls you "sweetie" or "sweetheart," and they're doing so because they're a genuinely nice person, it makes your day better.
Southern charm goes both ways, but not everyone has it. I sure as hell don't.
I'm pretty sure I would sound like a condescending asshole if I ever tried.
I hear "sweetie" from old ladies (stereotypically)
Yeah, generally you hear it from what Asians would classify as “Aunties”. Also, In the south they would use Sugar, Honey, or Sweetcheeks, things like that depending on the person.
No joke everytime when another woman calls me "sweetie" or "sweetheart" I instantly think of my mother and grandmother calling me that; it really made my day.
Yeah the use of that word super depends on the context of the situation
It’s a term of endearment that basically relates to precious or adorable
And kind hearted, innocent or happy I think
Henya truly is the sweetest of sweethearts
Everyone needs to remember to call her sweetheart during Valentine's Day.
She's such a sweetheart
Henya is really a sweetheart. She's really sweet and can melt our heart
Truly Henya moment of all time, she was so smug and suddenly get hit by the truth xD
Is incredible how Henya being a Smol and Cute Gremlin makes me think all the time she's a little kid 🤣🫖. She's so damn adorable all the time i watch her ❤️.
'Wat the fuk, dayo' was deep , henya is like incino-man literally so innocent lol 😂😂don't grow up Henya 😅😭🥶😂🙏
nice, it is so adorable
truly a sweetheart of all sweetheart
The fact that she was so proud of it is so damn cute. She's such a sweetheart lol
Best Henya clip of the year. She's our sweetheart
hm hm... am glad i sent that chat pfffft
poor kettle went from proud moments to absolute embarrasement 😂
Where I come from, Sweetheart is a term of endearment for those close you as well as those who are genuinely kind and good. Henya is truly a Sweetheart to many of us.
This poor sweetheart was shook by this revelation, bless her heart.
This was the beginning of the "Sweetheart" arc
I would be to embarrassed & self conscious to say this to your face in person as we aren't related but as I'm safe behind a screen where people can't see me, you are sweetie. Your fun videos brighten my day.
Wait til she hears people in northern England call each other "duck"
*SWEETHEART KETTLE ENERGY DAYÕ* 😏🤣
This is my favorite Henya clip of the entire year 😆 Every single one of her reactions to "sweetheart" is completely precious, and there are SO MANY
Considering all the things they could have said. Bless them for having the patience and understanding to know you didnt know english well and were trying your best.
"No one call me sweetheart beside my dad"
"I thought people calling me sweatheart because I'm hot"
Erm
Whoops
Incest is wincest!
Why be embarrassed? She is totally a sweatheart.
It really depends on what country you're from as to what sweetheart implies. in the south in the US it can be a term of endearment for children, or adults, it's pretty universal. But if they say "Bless her heart" chances are it's a nice way of saying "Ya stupid."
A sweet kettle. I see no issue here.
Some people think its somehow rude or belittling to women... I don't get that, I think its nice
To be fair I'm pretty sure I've heard it used on young adult guys or teens/kids for men too, usually by older women.
It isn’t necessarily only for kids though. It’s a term of endearment usually given from older adults to younger adults or children. It can also have romantic connotations as well.
except she's _really_ short... she never said the exact number but we can safely assume the character's height isn't that far off.
Sweetheart can be used in multiple different meanings. Its true that it can be used in a way of old ladies calling a kid that but then it can be used as a lovers term, in a polite talking way (often used in the south of US) or when someone thinks someone else is really adorable and sweet.
The last term fits well on you Henya, you are a really sweet person so Henya you are our sweetheart.
And it also can be used in patronizing way from older men to younger women.
The next level one is when an older southern woman calls you “baby” or “sugar”.
Maybe thats true regionally. In the south its used often as a term of endearment saying like your adorable. In the east its used as an insult NICE TURN SIGNAL SWEETHEART! and the west doesn’t use at all.
Henya, the closest thing in japanese is probably the "chan" suffix, or maybe "kun". In either case, not anything like sexy, maybe more like cute, in a platonic way
From a stranger: sweetheart = oujou-chan
I always thought if someone calls you sweetheart or sweetie or honey, and it’s an older woman who says it, she’s just being motherly lol
But she literally is- Henya is too adorable she can’t do anything wrong in my eyes. Henya killed zen? It’s zens fault.
I think it depends on the age of the person saying it. If it is someone your ahe. They may have naughty intentions. But if it is someone old. Then they can call someone young enouugh to be their daughter sweetheart
you know what makes this even funnier? the comment section not knowing that Henya said before she's actually really short and gets mistaken for a child all the time. 😂😂😂
Our lil tea kettle😊
Yeah, "sweetheart" and its shortened forms are diminutives, typically meant to convey cuteness, youth, and smallness. Complimentary, but with a specific intent.
BRUH HENYA IS JUST TOO CUTE MAAN 🤣🤣🤣
Sweetheart doesn’t inherently mean your a child. Dont know why they told her that simply a term of endearment
"Sweetie" and "Sweetheart" are terms of endearment... normally, speaking.
Depending on the context it can also be a very degrading term, in this case it isn't... but, it can be.
As Henya is still learning English and all the complexities of English compared to other languages. Learning the distinction of terminology is an important thing.
Anyone remember the anime/manga WataMote? Moments like this with Henya reminds me of that series and I love it 😂

"Sweet-o heart-o!" Is the cutest thing I've ever heard 😭😭😍

She's such a sweetie.
As long as they don't say "bless your heart"
6:20 The moment the last of -Henya’s- Sweety’s hopes crumble from pieces to dust.
More or less a term used from older people (oftentimes way older)
Sweetheart = Oujou-chan
5 stages of grief:
Sweetheart and sweetie are used by Boomers when talking to people of no real consequence, too. Again, that would include kids, but can include new employees, or random passersby.
That's just adorable
Henya truly is a sweet summer child
Where in the US was she born, again?
That is very common in the South. I love the Southern terms of endearment. Coming with that Southern drawl. And from different age and gender groups.
The flip 🤣🤣
The way it pierces her to the core instantly.
Call the V-shojo girls. inform them that from now on they should refer to Henya as sweetheart.
Awww Henya 🥰
04:16 tea is ready
The tea 🍵 is ready 😂
The whole time it was just the equivalent of them calling her Henya-kun! XD
I thought it was for someone cute and younger than the one who said it. Like could be a kid but could be like 20s alike from an older person.
Nicknames at the workplace is a spur of the moment thing to get someone attention quick.
Henya personality is that of a sweetheart.
My favorite southern saying is "Bless your heart!", because it can mean different things depending on how and when you say it.
henyaaaaaa~ your genius is showing
Rizzed in the streets, plapped in the..,
Henya is a sweetheart in the best possible way.
sweetheart has many uses
someone who is attractive. hey sweetheart how are you doing.
a older person to a younger person. oh hello there sweetheart.
feeling pity for an idiot. no sweetheart not like that.
something bad happened to you. oh sweetheart I'm so sorry to hear that.
She is seen as kawaii outside of Japan I guess.
My family does something similar, but we rotate the terms honey, sweetie/sweetheart, and darling.
At least she isn’t mistaken for a kid at airports, unlike a certain shark.
well, not at airports
the parents knew, when they replayed , but Henya didn't, poor Henya :-P
Sweetheart isnt just for little kids though..
True, it is said to those in their 20s too, rare for it to be applied to someone past age 30 though, well unless it's like a dad to daughter or wife.
She is kind of getting one guyed. She was wrong but it is not a kid term either. It is southern to be honest.
I Japan maybe.
teapot boiling at 4:16 🫖
bless her heart
So painfull.
o7 Henya.
1:13 Endoramen
6:25 henya is dying when she knew the truth, KEKW
In my neck of the south we mainly use "Hon". Which is short fo "Honey". Which is a similar expression like "sweetheart". It's mainly an expression the older generation say to the younger generation but can get the wrong idea to someone not familiar with it.
My tea is ready! 4:15
She's a Sweet kettle
It can be used how she initially thought but is more commonly used when addressing a cute younger person.
In Atlantic Canada you'll hear people use "My love" instead of Honey/Sweetheart/Sweetie.
I don't think I've ever addressed someone as "sweetheart". But I have said things like "she's such a sweetheart".
I feel like the Japanese equivalent would be “kawaikochan” (~”cutie”) (someone else mentioned “ojouchan”). Basically, you use it toward ppl you think are cute &/or ppl you like. While that’s oftentimes romantic partners or beloved family members, some ppl are naturally friendly & use it on many/all ppl they meet, while others use it on strangers they see as cute &/or hot, and others use it as a subtle way to show superiority (think of Kaguya-sama’s “okawaii koto”).
And for better or worse, the main overlap of all the above categories is “younger kid”. 😅
Henya the Sweetheart
Henya the sweetheart
I guess it's kinda like the ojouchan
Awww, poor kettle
It's okay, sweetheart, we all think you're a cute kid
So we're all gonna call her sweetheart from now on huh? 😂
Henya is a sweetheart
Thank God nobody told her that Sweetheart is a term used for cutting boards as well.
It is? I've never heard of that.
nah. i get called sweetheart every now and then and I'm a 6'6 bearded man. usually just a term of endearment.
ur one of favorite vtubers sweetheart
FRIEND ZONED
Sweethenya
