What is a cortadito?
The Spanish to English translation said a cortadito was a cortadito?! I just want to know what it is!

"Cortadito" means "small cut" in Spanish. It is used to describe a type of Cuban espresso.

A friend introduced me to this. It is very good. 
Spanish speakers like to use the diminuitives on many things for many reasons. A cortado is a small coffee with just a little milk and when you have the diminuitive added, it's a cortadito which emphasizes that it's a very small cup of coffee with milk... don't be fooled. A cortadito is really strong and that is all you need if you want to stay up and study Spanish all night long. ;o) I was once given a soup-sized thermos with this coffee... it was meant to make a day's worth of coffee for several... I filled a regular mug... no so smart. Who knew?
The word cordadito also means a shot/small cut of Cuban espresso. In Miami particularly it is used in this context.
Hi Jfox, did you mean on SpanishDict translator? I guess there is no sentence? It could mean a variety of things, first thing that popped into my head was one of those little coffees they serve in Spain (un cortado) and of course if you want to go have one you might say 'estoy pensando en un cortadito' but it could be a bit (piece/cutting) of something. Wish you had more to give context...
