    I'll acknowledge information technology: my Spanish is not that bully. Having grown upwards in Then. Cal, I tin can speak and read the language to a fair extent, just I'm unclear on most of the slang, particularly breezy slang for "sis." I know the proper word is Hermana, but I've too heard you can say something along the lines of "como esta, carnala!" as a way of saying like "what up sistah, how's it going?" Whatever native speakers out there care to help me out?

    P.South. I know dialects vary by region and state. What I'm looking for specifically is Mexican/Chicano slang like what they would utilise in the Latino areas of Los Angeles.

    I've just popped your question into a thread in one of my 'terp forums. Since I'm a little island male child from the Caribbean area, I felt my Chicano friends would be better sources of electric current, correct, idiomatic street slang of the here and now. As soon as I get replies, I shall quote them here. ;)

    Manita is a common wrinkle of hermanita. You lot hear that one in PR too. For dudes it would exist 'mano or 'manito.

    So then I would be right by saying?I knew virtually manita, but I was hesitant to utilize it as to my understanding that one is more than in reference to a little sis, or can information technology become both ways?

    The speaker is basically a ginger-haired white girl who'south been hanging effectually a lot of Mexicans, has picked upward their slang, and tries her best to deed like a Latina -- including putting on a imitation Chicano emphasis. Kind of like the fiddling wannabe gangsta's yous encounter driving around blaring rap music and trying to emulate African-American civilisation.

    What if she is a Cholo? Exercise they call each other anything different?

    Yep, this is being used correctly.You are correct in that the -ita suffix makes that discussion a diminutive, thus technically meaning little sis. But the Spanish culture is very fond of its endearments and in Spanish, this class of words is much, much bigger than it is in English language, peculiarly since the PC revolution of the ninety's in America where many endearments found themselves tabooified.

    The diminutive version of Spanish endearments is much more than often used to invoke a greater sense of intimacy/friendship/caring than in its more literal meaning of "little". It's also sometimes used as a kind of emotional manipulation. We have a thing in Spanish civilization called the ay bendito (that's a whole other conversation all by itself) and when someone is trying to pluck your heartstrings for personal proceeds, they volition invoke a agglomeration of atomic endearments at you to virtually shame you into doing what they desire. Almost like "look how servile and humble I am being before yous, almost groveling, how tin can you possibly say no?" It the same cultural paradigm that gives rise to syntax that Hispanics view equally polite and proper, only which to an American ear sounds servile and uncomfortably syrupy, like: Este humilde servidor desea señalarle a usted... which literally means This apprehensive retainer would like to betoken to y'all..., but actually means I want to tell you....

    And so then I could technically use manita and it would still be correct? Because that's what I wanted to use because I remember information technology flows a tad better.

    Admittedly. ;) It would be perfectly mutual to hear in that context.

    I experience so neglected. I was being serious about the cholo question considering I know a female cholo is called a different proper name and it is a certain lifestyle that Alesia might non have heard of before. The girls that shave their eyebrows and so draw this long thin funky ones and where certain clothes.

    I know which ones yous are talking nearly, but I forget what they are called.
  14. Chola is the female cholo, at least in LA.

    My brother tells me carnala is a 'homegirl' in LA.

    Aye, that's not what I'thou going for. It's more than of a "hey sis, long time, no come across." type of thing. I'm thinking in that context carnala would be the equivalent of "what upward gurlfriend!"
