Que quiere decir "azulito" en español?

Question

Estoy leyendo un libro de Dr. Seuss en español (Un pez, dos peces, pez rojo, pez azul), y me encontré con el término "azulito", no estoy seguro de si esto implicaría "pequeño azul" o "azul claro". Por favor, ayuda. Gracias.

Answer 1

It's a way to embellish a word... especially in children tales...

a way to say pretty.

Although in this case, might be the name of a fish, as suggested by Andreknue.

Answer 2

-ito, -ita are diminutive noun endings, which means they make the noun smaller. Like adding a -y or -ie in English. (fishy, doggy, kitty). Italian uses -ino, -ini, and -ello. Like the little bambino. Azulito means "little blue" or literally "bluey".

Answer 3

Puede llama un pez pequeño y azul el azulito o azul pequeño. Mi perra se llama manchitas, manchas pequeñas.

I believe you mean "perro"... - Azabache, May 9, 2013

Ella es embra así perra. Tengo dos perros y dos perras y también una gata. - 00551866, May 9, 2013

Yes, but perra means b**ch, which, although it does mean female dog, it is not often used to refer to a dog, but rather a person... - Azabache, May 10, 2013

Answer 4

¿Qué es la línea antes del término azulito y la línea con azulito. Dr. Seuss utiliza palabras que más sentido hecho rimada. Si supiera que en el libro verá la palabra, tengo una mejor idea acerca de la palabra.

What is the line before the term azulito and the line with azulito. Dr. Seuss used words that rhymed more than made sense. If I knew where in the book you see the word, I would have a better idea about the word.

Un pez, dos peces, pez rojo, pez azul. pez negro, pez azulito, pez anciano, pez bebito. Éste tiene una estrella. - jrschenk, May 9, 2013

The book has no such distinction. From the book: "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish Black fish, blue fish, old fish, new fish This one has a little star, This one has a little car, Say, what a lot of fish there are." - MountainBelle, May 10, 2013

Answer 5

As there is a blue fish (pez azul) in the sentence, then bluey fish (pez azulito) is a light blue fish, or at least it is not as blue as the blue one.
