round 3 - week 7 - 3 of 4

brought to you by: marceline the vampire queen

gatico (colombian spanish) vs kisumisu (finnish)

info and propawganda under the cut!

gatico /ɡaˈtiko/

Ok, so the usual word for kitty in Spanish is Gatito, but in Colombia when the word has t in its last syllable, we form the diminutive with c so that it's easier to pronounce, making gatico a very unique way to say kitty and that's why I think it should win.

kisumisu - no IPA provided

Long and cute !

both parts already mean "cat" on their own, the repetition is added for maximum kittycat cuteness. also insanely fun to say

Fun little Spanish Quirk!

Idk if there's any official rule of this but this is a rule I realized existed a couple of years ago and I want to share it with ya'll!

Okay so you may or may not know that in Spanish, to minimize a word, you add "ito/a" at the end of a word.

For example:

Perro= Perrito

Carro= Carrito

Rápido= Rapidito

Silla= Sillita

Casa= Casita

Sometimes you add "cito" so that it sounds nicer:

Cafe= cafecito

However, some people will add "ico" instead of ito, and I realized it follows this rule:

If the constant of the last syllable contains a 't', then you can use "ico/a"

For example:

Pato=Patico

Gato=Gatico

Caliente=Calientico

The only mainstream(at least to Cubans) example I can think of is Jose Martin's poem, Los Zapaticos de Rosa. (which if you haven't read please do! This website has it in English and Spanish. Just be aware the title is better translated as "the little pink shoes")

Some examples of when it DOESN'T work:

Casa≠Casica

Silla≠Sillica

Carro≠carrico

(At least to my ears these sound wrong)

However, apparently people say "perrico," which sounds weird to me, but I saw some backing for it. So idk if it's a hard and fast rule. With that said, I'm pretty sure the "t rule" applies pretty well to most words!

Also, I googled while writing this and forgot there are other diminutives people use, so you can have it properly explained in this article! (also just explains the diminutive rule more eloquently)

So yah, if you Speak/teach Spanish tell me if this checks out or not! And if you're learning Spanish, dw about using it, just stick to the OG rule if it confuses you. This isn't something someone sat down and taught me. It's something I do instinctively and reversed engineered a rule for it afterwards.

Sources! (I ended up googling to get example words/word things better) ⬇️

Quora thread, I used Damain C.Dol's cafecito example and they reminded me of "cito"

Used some of the examples in this article

Quora mentioned perrico(Katja Kaila)

Other Quora perrico mention(Juan Carlos Martin)

¡Bienvenidos a otro episodio amiguitoch! En este capítulo @yannakissecae y yo hablaremos de temas variados y un tanto extravagantes, como los auriculares olvidados al fondo del cajón, gaticos por las aceras, hablar solo en público, porque sí, a veces es mejor parecer loco que aburrido, del maravilloso perricao y como no, también hablaremos del cine y de cómo hay películas que te cagas con el drama, ¡literalmente! Así que poneos cómodos, y preparaos para otro viajecito al pozo de chorradas de nuestras ocurrencias.
