doesn't " maldito " ( n) mean mal = (devil) and ito = ( little ) = little devil, demon, evil doer.

you little devil! -> ¡granujilla! (to child) Or Diablito. Also Diablillo (sound comic)

Maldito is a person or thing that has a curse. A damned. As a insult, Maldito is stronger than little devil. Maybe Wretch is a good translation.

"Stronger". Maldito is stronger. "Maybe wretch is a good translation". - Gekkosan, Jan 31, 2012

Welcome to the forum, Niqphury. For future reference please make sure to use proper capitalization for your posts.

No, "diablito" means "little devil".

Maldito means "damned".

I know - some people don't like to see the "D" word spelled out, but I think that's one of those that threads a fine line in English. It's perfectly fine in Spanish. - Gekkosan, Jan 31, 2012

So it is, Albert, thank you. Treads is what I meant. - Gekkosan, Jan 31, 2012

I believe it means **** or cursed.

Diablito is one way of saying "little devil".
