Answer 1

Hello VSNVO

Where I'm from we say "es cachetona"

What do you think of "mofletuda," which is in the dictionary? - --Mariana--, Mar 30, 2010

Mofletuda is in the dictionary, it's true, but in Argentina we don't use that word either. we say "cahcetona" o "cachetón" - Benz, Mar 30, 2010

In fact, when you see a baby with chubby cheeks, we just say: "mira qué cachetes tiene!!" - Benz, Mar 30, 2010

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The dictionary says:

chubby-cheeked (girl) = mofletuda

Let's wait and see what others have to say about this.

I think they use that in Spain, maybe. Sounds horrible to me! :-D - Gekkosan, Mar 30, 2010

lol. I wish the dictionary had more of an explanation here. - --Mariana--, Mar 30, 2010

De nuevo, uso y costumbre. "Moflete" es una manera de decir "cheeks" - but never, never in the countries where I have lived in L.A. It's one of those words like "bossom" or "gaol", that sound natural in England, but odd elsewhere. - Gekkosan, Mar 30, 2010

Mi hija tiene mejillas abundantes.

Eso me suena bien extraño, Julian - no muy natural.. - Gekkosan, Mar 30, 2010
