Using 'dito' at the end of verbs

Question

I understand the use of adding 'ito' to nouns as a way of expressing smallness and affection, but also I have seen some verbs with 'dito' added on. For example:

'donde estas, estoy en casa, acostadito'. Recently I also heard 'tomadito'.

Is it more common in certain countries?

in Spain you can hear it. in other places I don't know - 000a35ff, Oct 13, 2015

Answer 2

It doesn't means nothing. It's only a way of talking.

I suppose that you know that the diminutives express not only smallness but also affection.

¿ha visto mi elefantito? Hace mucho que no lo veo y es su hora de la merienda.

with a "participio" ( non-personal form of the verb that it takes to operate as an adjective without losing all its verbal nature).it happens something similar. It is used to show love or That you are enjoying doing something or that you are very confortable or irony or the way to do something.......

Mira mi niño ,que agusto está ahí dormidito.(tenderness). Corta en pedazos mas pequeños. Mira así de picadito.(way to do something) . Que agusto estas ahi sentadito (mientras yo hago todo el trabajo) (irony)

Estoy tumbadito en mi cama. (To be very confortable).

Etc

please correct my English - 000a35ff, Oct 13, 2015

Muy bien dicho. These corrections: It doesn't mean anything. (Double negatives are not correct - but they are used). ...form of the verb that works like an adjective.... something similar occurs. ..are very comfortable (M not N) or to express irony or.... - Jubilado, Oct 14, 2015

Finally somebody tells that they are not verbs but adjectives - txustaboy, Oct 14, 2015
