Chaval is used in Spain and probably nowhere else. From watching old movies I learned that Americans used the word sister (and little sister) to someone who was not a sibling frequently in the 1930's and 40's. This use pretty much disappeared here except among Evangelical Christians.

Hermanita is a dimunitive. It can be used to mean a younger sister, but it can also be a tender way to refer to an older sister.

Hermanito refers to a younger brother. She can call you hermanita since you´re younger, but I don´t think you can refer to her the same way, unless as a term of endearment, since the word in itself is dimunitive

Quote:
"This is David, can I speak with X".In Spanish, that's not the normal way of saying it. You would say: Soy David, ¿me permite hablar con X?The third option is understandable, but is not natural.
