Names children in Costa Rica Panama Nicaragua PLEASE HELP ME !?

Question

How do you call childrens in. Costa Rica Panama

Nicaragua for example in the US they call kids children or little ones .

Answer 1

Niño/a is what they are called all over Latin America. In some parts of Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador children are sometimes referred to as "sipote/a".  In Panama i have heard of kids being called "chambito", don't know if that is used everywhere in Panama though. In Costa Rica i have also heard people call kids "chiquitico", which is the same thing as "chiquitito" (little one). But, they use -tico to make things sound smaller; -tico is so widely used that they call themselves "tico/a". In Nicaragua they are referred to as "Chavalito/a" or "Chavalo/a" (for older kids and teens).

Answer 2

In Colombia we call them Niños, chinos and I don´t remember what else. I think it would be better for you to ask this question in Yahoo Argentina or Yahoo Mexico.

Answer 3

Ninos for Children. Nietos for grandchildren. Pulga is a nickname or pulgis. Lots of other terms of endearment, also. Culicagado. Sardino or sardina, Chiquita or Chiquito... Most are just invented.

Answer 4

Ninos is the most common but i know in Nicaragua they call a teenager "Chavalo" or "Chavala" [depending on their gender] and for a little boy or girl you say "Chavalito" or "Chavalita"
