Teaspoon Translation

votes
I'm trying to study for a Spanish test and I noticed there are two words for teaspoon. According to my notes, both "cucharita" and "cucharadita" mean teaspoon. As I'm learning other measurements with these, I don't want to get anything confused. Are these correct?

About teaspoon:
If you talk about the tool -> cucharilla or cucharilla de cafe.
If you talk about the quantity -> cucharadita or cucharadita de cafe or even cucharadita de las de cafe.
EDIT: Yes, we also use cucharita for any small spoon but it is not precise.

Those are great. You don't mention cucharita, does that mean it's not used where you live? - Manity, Nov 30, 2015

Meanings vary from place to place, In California "cucharadita" would me "a small teaspoonful." La cuchara is the teaspoon. I just looked at my Websters Spanish/English dictionary and it agrees with me. Qué chévere, ¿verdad?
