The [[semantic space]] of {{tp|olin}} includes strong {{w|emotional bond}}s and {{w|affection}}, such as many kinds of love, be it {{w|Platonic love|platonic}}, {{w|Familial love|familial}}, or {{w|Romantic love|romantic}}.<ref>{{cite lipamanka}}</ref> It may refer to the object of affection, as in a love interest.

| My <mark>partner</mark> is sweet.
