Que significa "Bueno canchita linda"

Question

This was at the end of a letter. I'm confused because I come up with canchita being popcorn, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intended meaning. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Canchita is another way of saying guerita. Bueno canchita bonita, Well pretty guerita If you don't know what guerita (guerra, guerro for guys) is, it's basically a latina/latino who has light skin and blonde hair. You can still be called that even without the blonde hair. Reason why the person is saying canchita instead of guerita; in some places guerita means decomposed egg so they say canchita instead.

Kiwi he is confusing "canchita" with "cachita". Canchita the diminutive of "Cancha" and Cancha Serrana is a food from Peru. - 003e54f5, Jul 17, 2014

güero o güera, guerra means war - Kiwaiano, Jul 18, 2014

Answer 2

Depending on the context and tones of speech it could change meaning. However at first glance I would translate that to:

"Alright, you cute little pig..." Said endearingly to perhaps a little girl stuffing her face with birthday cake...

...or perhaps "Alright, that's enough" to your friend chowing down food in front of you.

Answer 3

hmmm where is this guy from?

That might give us a clue.

Answer 4

Could 'you' be the pretty little popcorn? Like my daughter used to be my little 'pumpkin'? (Never heard this before!)

Makes more sense in the context (kind of) but a wierd term of affection.... hmm... maybe?! - suzieq1234, Jun 29, 2010

Answer 5

Conchito - Youngest child

Could it be an o rather than an a at the end of the sentence?

Love the popcorn action! He definately used an "a" and linda has "a" at end as well. But, since I'm a girl would that be conchita (fem)? - suzieq1234, Jun 29, 2010

Yes you may be right about that - Brynleigh, Jun 29, 2010

Still doesn't make sense in the context, but I can't think of anything else. I'll have to ask (I HATE that!) and I'll let you know. - suzieq1234, Jun 29, 2010
