Smile Hola!!

Hola mis cuates!

Me llamo Emil, soy de Suecia! Estoy estudiando un curso intensivo de español en la universidad. No puedo hablar mucho español todavía, pero quiero aprender mucho español. Yo creo que español es una lengua muy hermosa. Y además, es muy divertida!

I've been studying spanish for about 2 months now. I hope that I will learn a lot here as I continue to study, and hopefully it will be good practice too. I'm looking forward to talk to you more and maybe learn something!

Mucho gusto. Nos vemos!

¿Cuatucho es un diminutivo cariñoso de cuate?

Para mí sería "cuatacho", pero probablemente hay alguna región del norte donde se usa "cuatucho".

No quiero ser aguafiestas, pero el sufijo ucho no suena muy amable, además que según la RAE:

-ucho, cha.

1. suf. U. para formar despectivos a partir de adjetivos y nombres. Flacucho, periodicucho, medicucho, papelucho, delgaducho, larguirucho, etc.

Sí, lo de "cuate" "cuatito" "cuatucho" es más bien mexicano, pero si oímos la Serenata Mariachi de Les Luthiers, "entre cuates, entre cuites... ? entre esos" no nos resultará tan raro...

Cuando leí lo de "cuatucho" con el sufijo que mencionas también pensé en el sentido despectivo del sufijo... pero aunque no esté en el DRAE, (que yo sepa) creo que el sentido "cariñoso" lo da el contexto, como por ejemplo si yo le digo "feucha" a mi novia, lo digo de una forma afectiva, queriendo decir lo contrario... en España también he oído insultos de lo más brutal, o tacos de lo peor, dichos con total desparpajo y sin ofender a nadie... como ¡Hola, cabr*naz*, cuánto tiempo sin verte! Cuando la palabra en sí puede producir un efecto totalmente negativo, la persona que lo dice y el tono en que lo dice, se recibe sin ningún problema...

Por eso lo preguntaba (o por si era otra palabra), pero claro, el contexto lo dice todo.

Bueno, pues ahí lo tienes.

Incluyo un tesoro lingüístico, que lo pongo en "hide" por si hiere alguna sensibilidad.

Bueno, como dije, lo común es "cuatacho", pero Elaina suele trabajar con gente del norte, así que probablemente allá se usa "cuatucho".
