Please note, the translation "soul mate" does not fully or precisely give the meaning to anamchara. Anamchara, traditionally, means "spiritual advisor". There is an on-going debate as to how to define anamchara properly :) Literally, anamchara is translated as "soul-friend".

"Mo chuisle" literally means "My pulse", but can mean "My love" or "My darling".

It's a term of endearment taken from the original phrases "A chuisle mo chroí", or "Pulse of my heart".

When speaking directly to the person, use "A chuisle". When speaking about them say "Mo chuisle".

The movie Million Dollar Baby incorrectly spells "Mo chuisle" as "Mo cuishle".
