What does it mean when someone likes thing despacito vs despacio?
- Spanish (Colombia)
In my country we would use:
Despacito
Rapidito
Cerquita
Prontito
Enseguidita etc.
They are all diminutives. For example "ahorita" is widely used in some areas but we never use it in our area. Not all are used all over Spanish-speaking countries but they would all be understood. It's true what they say. Diminutives in general are almost never used in public documents, patriotic speeches , laws, regulations etc. They are usually colloquial and a way of being kind or lovely or the sort.
