peito?

[vita32]

What does "peito" mean? I tried the dictionary but it's not defined there.

Thanks.

"peito" is chest or breast -included chicken breast- in Portuguese, or it is a misspelling for "pleito", "pelito" or something else.

Please, write down the whole sentence that contains that word "peito".

"Había una vez una pareja bailando en una fiesta, cuando de repente a la mujer se le escapa un peito."

Gracias por su ayuda.

"peito" is a childish way to refer to a little "Pedo"

Yes, but it should be written "peíto", with an accent. The original word is "pedito".

Hi irma,

I checked the original word to make sure I did not copy the word wrong and I did not. What difference does the accent make?

Thanks.

Without the accent, there are two syllables. With it, there are three.
The combination 'ei' is a dipthong without the accent.

Rusty is right. The stress on the original word is the the syllable "di", pedito. This is a diminutive from "pedo". Diminutives are grave (?) words, although the original word is not:

camión - camioncito
libro - librito
murciélago - murcielaguito

"ei" forms a diphthong. Therefore, to maintain the stress on the penultimate syllable, you must break that diphthong with an accent (peíto); otherwise, you would pronounce it in a wrong way (peito).

Sometimes, these things that cause people to be ashamed are useful for learning. One must use funny things for learning.

Thanks Rusty and Irma.

Yes, I agree with you irma, sometimes it causes a lot of embarrassment to learn. May be I would not be embarrassed face to face if I have the opportunity to visit Spanish speaking countries and try communicating in their language, since I'm learning some (palabra verguenzosa?).

The same here: oxítonas, paroxítonas, proparoxítonas y superproparoxítonas.
