Answer 3

Thanks and much appreciated. Is there a recognised Spanglish term for a little baby or more specifically for an unborn baby

Answer 4

Spanglish is not a pidgin language. It is totally informal; there are no hard-and-fast rules.

There is no clear demarcation between Spanglish and simple bad Spanish or English. "Parquear" for "to park" is clear deliberate Spanglish; "actualmente" for "actually" rather than "at present" is closer to erroneous use of a false friend, and ambiguous as it has a clear, but different, meaning in true Spanish.

I don't think that "bumpito" for "little bump" would be recognized as Spanglish. And it would only be understood by the people that already recognized the word "bump".

Answer 5

I was thinking of Spanglish or Spanish to see if it fits correctly or makes sense.

Sounds like someone adding o to any English word, thinking it sounds Spanish. - 0074b507, Sep 7, 2010
