What does this mean?

[ɢɑʙʀɩɛʟɑ]

What is a chavito?

 

[Tallman1818]

It depends how or where you use it, in Mexico "chavito" means little kid or little boy;
in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic it means "little money".

 

[ɢɑʙʀɩɛʟɑ]

okay thanks! i need it for in mexico. so it means little kid, but is it necissarily bad or good? or is it just neutral?

 

[Chirimoya]

In other Spanish-speaking countries it means a boy (the word is of Gypsy origin, related to chaval, chavo and apparently also the English 'chav') but it's not so common in the DR. Unless there is another meaning? What is the context?

 

[Tallman1818]

It's a natural word, no bad.

 

[cuas]

It depends how it is used. There is Mexican show called "El Chavo del Ocho".
It is about a boy played by a man (petite) who is homeless, lives in a tank (barril) has no parents, no family, nobody likes him, everybody blames him, they hit him. An outcast
If used like a person in DR they are referring to this chavo-annoying.

Chavo is also used as money. No tengo chavo or no hay chavito.

A Cayuco was the hollowed tree trunks that Tainos used as boats.
You had to carry your own Cayuco from the river or coast and stand it near your Bohio for it to dry or else it would rot faster than usual.

They have an old song that pictures the men with their hands up Cayuco in hands.
Same way most canoes are carried nowadys...

That means you're young for your years or act older than you are...

Menolsita is a slang for "Menor" or Young person.
If you're an older woman they mean you are young at heart and look much younger than your years.
If you're a teenager or below the 20's then it means exactly that! You're young!
