Other than the Toni Morrison novel, I have very rarely heard that word used in English, especially nowadays. It is quite old-fashioned indeed :)
Hayat means life so hayatım should directly mean "my life." When I asked my Turkish girlfriend if that was what this means, she confirmed and said it's a really endearing term.
In Spanish they use that term also for somebody they love, but not only for a lover. I often heard mothers saying that to their chidren "mi vida".
You have to use it.That ''-im'' ,indicates that the person you talk about is YOUR lover and no one else's.
SevgiliM= my lover, SevgiliN= your lover SevgiliLERİ= their lover and so on.....

Okay, I understand. The translation above is darling. I wrote my love and it has been accepted as well. Pls. can you tell me when to use aşkim and when sevgilim? I think that is not the same thing.
Basically,''my love'' means ''aşkım'' and ''darling or my darling'' means ''sevgilim''.But their meaning is almost the same,that is why your answer has been accepted, Turkish doesn't really make a difference between them.
Shouldn't it be " I love you my darling" Because most times its is marked wrong when the possessive suffix are ignored.
My question is, I thought sevgilim means- my darling, or my beloved but from what i see on the comments it would me marked wrong. Why? is it something to report?
