I'm sure the Genoese dialect I spoke with my grandparents must be pretty different from whatever they spoke in the 12th century, just FYI.
Also, perhaps I should have mentioned it before, but Genoese is just a spoken dialect (we don't study it in school) so I have never had to write it! It's so weird. There are some websites giving pointers on how to learn Genoese spelling but it's complicated, different scholars use different systems.
Anyway, 'Bèn turnòu a càza, amô' it's a very simple 'Welcome home, [my] love'. I just realised I know basically zero terms of endearment that would work with a lover, as I said I mostly spoke Genoese with my grandparents, so all I know are affectionate words you would use with a child, ooops.

Sorry, turns out I'm not that helpful.
