Sprinkling

When I was in Mexico, a young boy was saying Chespita when it was sprinkling. I hope I am spelling it right. I looked up Chespita or Chespiando and didn't find the word. Is the word correct? Am I spelling it right?
BTW, I remember this because it sounds similiar to Cheese pizza. lol

"Chispas" (Sparks) is one common way to refer to sprinkles. If you are talking about rain, then "Chispear" is one form to refer to a very light drizzle, or sprinkle.

Then would it be Esta chispiando or hace chispiando to mean sprinkling? Could I say Chispitas to mean little sprinkles? - Oblaidon, MAY 4, 2010
Yes, you can say that, although I'm not sure you will be understood everywhere. "Chispeando". My son talks about "chispitas de chocolate", to mean "chocolate sprinkles", for example. - Gekkosan, MAY 4, 2010
Comprendo. Muchas Gracias :) - Oblaidon, MAY 4, 2010

I don't believe it is exists, or at least not officially...
there are other ways to say sprinkling, though
hope that helps
