What does aurita or oreita mean, it sounds like these, but not sure how to spell it.

Question

I hear this word all the time, but can´t find it online or any dictionary, is it slang and what are all the possible meanings of it. I think it means something relating to time in the future but the time is indefinate. In english its like saying we´ll get to it in a while, but the relation to time is vague, not exact. This is what I think it means, but again I´m not sure.

If possible, give me a sentance or two and the english translation with this word. Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

Aurita voy ala tienda.
I'll go to the store in a little bit.

It can have different meanings depending on how you are using it. but it mostly means in a little bit.

Answer 2

As with all languages there are words that change their pronunciation because of local slang or mannerisms of the region.

What sounds like 'Aurita' really comes from the word 'Ahora'... which means 'Now'. As you know in Spanish it seems that anything can have a diminutive form and such is the case of this word.

So 'Aurita' is a diminutive form of 'Ahora' which can mean 'now' or 'in a moment'

Hope this helps.
