It means "beloved" as in mi querida amiga...my beloved friend...and in my experience is used as an affectionate term such as sweetheart, sugar, baby or honey, maybe dear, etc....but "amor" is more commonly used for dear. I suppose some people might use it to describe their mistress but I haven't heard it used like that.

Re: querida??
HI crystal, it means both, depending on the context.
Re: querida??
Right Vicente! That's exactly the way it's used in Argentina, as "beloved". It's not common as mistress, maybe it used to be in the past in the 1900 but not anymore.
Hope it helps!
Re: querida??
Hello all!
Here the word has the two meanings but the mistress meaning is not too widely used anymore.
It is a meaning that my Grandma and even my Mom would use to refer to a man's lover but the younger generation would not.
HOpe it helps!

The same goes for Veenzuela, Sandrita my friend !!! It has both meanings and it depends on the context. However, as you pointed out, young people do not use "querida" too often for referring to mistress. . They now use "amante" instead
Truly, my dear young friends, you are a chosen generation. I hope you will never forget it.

Re: querida??
That's exactly what I ment!
Now people say:
Tiene una amante o tiene un amante
Tiene un tipo o tiene una mina
Any other suggestions??
Best regards,

Re: querida??
Lo de tipo y mina no se entendería aquí.
Aquí decimos amante, querida, lío......

Hola Exx!
Eso me recuerda la indignación que me causó leer "Crepúsculo" de Staphanie Meyer traducido por un traductor español... demasiadas palabras y frases inentendibles para nosotros! ¿Cómo una editorial como Alfaguara no contrata un traductor latinoamericano??
Best regards!
