I'm looking for a Spanish word that sounds like "caritho"

Question

My boyfriend is from Guatemala and said something in Spanish that sounded like "caritho" but I can't figure out what word he actually said or what it means.

Answer 1

The spanish word is "Cariño" Cariño is Affection, when you say "Cariño mio" you can translate it like My darling, My sweetie. It isn´t my love. You can say this expression to a son, or to a girlfriend like a familiar sentence.

Answer 2

I think he was saying "burrito" which can mean a few different things depending on context.

Welcome to the forum

Answer 4

I think he could also be saying "carrizo", which literally means "reed", but which in some places it is used as a benign euphemism for a stronger expletive. In those places it is used to express amazement, or surprised amusement.

Answer 5

caritho sounds like carito

or maybe carrito.

Everybody assumed your boyfriend was being nice with you and said cariño, but if you give us a context, a situation when that word was used we could be more helpful.

Maybe your name is Carol, or Caroline, and he´s calling you Carito, too.

Answer 6

Did you mean cariño?

Answer 7

querido

A lot of English speakers would spell it caritho or even cayditho.

Answer 8

I also think it is (not me too) or I , too, think it is - FELIZ77, Nov 22, 2010
