What does amiguita mean?

[kentwood]

Can anyone tell me what amiguita means? I assume it is a variation on
amigo, but I'm not sure.

I've heard it used by Spanish frfiends to refer to their son's girlfriend. -ita normaly indicates a feminine
diminutive.

Well, a first and not very good translation could be "little female friend",
but the correct acception of the word is, somehow, "girlfriend". It is
frecuently used when politely refering to a married man's lover.

It means little or fragile female who is friend or seems to be ( can be
ironic ) friend of the person who uses it.

As you guessed, amiguita comes from amiga (feminin of amigo). But while amigo
just means friend, when we make it diminutive adding -ito or -ita we mean
something more intimate, so it means girlfriend, but when we want to express
that it's not very serious.

Well. I'm not sure about the exact meaning of "amiguita" in other Spanish
speaking countries, but here in Mexico it has a different meaning
depending on the situation and depending on who are you telling that word
to. For example, if you say "amiguita" to a little girl, you are calling
her "little friend", and it can be said with a tender or a sarcastic
attitude. If you tell one of your friends that you are going out on a
date with an "amiguita", it might mean you're going to see your lover. As
I told you, depends on the situation and on who are you telling that word
to.
If you need any further information or comments, just let me know.

This is so wrong....amiguita is the dimnutive of a friend....girl friend.
Term of endearment.
That is the correct and only meaning of it....any othere use of it is not an official meaning

Spanish is the most rich language that exists.
English speakers cannot understand their endless meanings.

Be carefull, speak English kills people.

Have a long life and be happy,
