mamanita

Question

Have you ever heard of the word mamanita? If so what does it mean? Is it commonley used in the spanish language'

Answer 1

I have a feeling the word was mispelled and it is actually "mañanita" literally meaning a small morning but just another friendly way to talk about the morning.

I remember the poem...
sabes que es linda la mar
la viera de mañanita
cuando a gatas la puntita
del sol se pone a asomar.

Note the use of la mar not el mar quite common in poetry and in older Spanish

Answer 2

I still cant find the definiation? is this something a grandmother would be refered to or a mother'

Answer 3

Could it be "mamacita" ? I believe that means something like "little mama"

Answer 4

If that is the case, it might be that the words need to be seperated: Mamá Nita.

Answer 5

Anther name for mom? Grandma'

Answer 6
