Question Posted Monday January 14 2008, 10:50 pm

in spanish what are endings people can add on to a word:

-ito as in hijito (little child?) (miguel to miguelito)
-cillo (flores to florecillo)

these arent in the online or offline dictionaries. they are just endings which can be applied to any word almost

my question:
1) more examples
2) of the ones i listed, how do they change the meaning of the word they are added on to?

duzzie19 answered Monday January 14 2008, 11:44 pm:
-ito/a or -cito/a (either little or term of endearment)

-isimo/a (very much so, like buenisimo! very good!)

there r specific diminutives which provide nuance, like ahora (now)--> ahorita (right now)

they're called diminutives...there are many of them, as are there in english
