Laepelba,

It is so common to talk in diminutive, that you 'll laugh when you hear stuff you would never do in English. About Robertito...he will be called like that until he dies, I am afraid. He will be taller than anyone including his father, and still he will be Robertito. :)

Also it can be named merely as Chilenito.

That is SO sad!! (In a funny hilarious kind of way!) So ... I have been wondering about this, too: My friend (Robertito's mother) is VERY short. Her name is Nina ... and I have always thought that it would be really rude to call her "Ninita" ... like "little Nina" ... her family has a completely different nickname for her, so I don't know if that would be offensive...

So how would someone diminu-tize "Lou Ann"? LOL!!

Also it can be named merely as Chilenito.

...... Luisito? ;)

Lepalditita.....!

You guys are hilariousita. :D I think I prefer Luanita..... :angel:

[chileno]

Lepalditita.....!

Right. I forgot about that,

In her case it would be laepelbita ;-))

[laepelba]

In her case it would be laepelbita ;-))

I still prefer Luanita....... :thumbsup:

jajaja

This is fun!

Remember, I am not laughing at you. I want to laugh with you, so I am explaining. :)

Ok, a diminutive cannot be applied to hilarious! I do not know why, though.

[laepelba]

Maybe THAT would be Spanglish. :)

Exactly.

I don't like the idea about leapalbita. I think it sound as name of a animal. I'm not telling you animal, and either I'm laughing at you. Only I'm saying my comment about it.

I want to laugh with you.

Just it was a kidding.

Thank you for catch my drift.

Great idiom, Luis! One teeny weeny change... That's a fun one. :)
