Uso de los diminutivos en español

Todos sabéis que para utilizar el diminutivo la terminación más habitual es –ito. Y así de palabras como beso, decimos besito; o de gordo también decimos gordito.

1. En español, este diminutivo no quiere decir necesariamente que sea más bajito sino que también podemos utilizarlo para emplear un tono más cariñoso y, con las palabras que pensemos que son ofensivas, podemos suavizarlas y hacerlas menos agresivas, es deir, atenuamos:

No es lo mismo decir: tu hermano es gordo a tu hermano es gordito

2. En lugar de utilizar fórmulas de cortesía: por favor, si no es molestia, etc. Podemos utilizar el diminutivo. Por ejemplo:

-Por favor, ¿me traes un vaso de agua?

-¿Me traes un vasito de agua?

3. También lo utilizamos para convencer o hacer más apeticible un plan a nuestros amigos:

-¿Nos tomamos unas cervecitas?

-Una copita y a casa…

-mañana vamos a la playa y nos comemos una paellita

4. Es curioso como existen diferentes diminutivos para las diferentes zonas de España. Así la misma frase se podrá decir:

            “Tu hermano es gordiño” en Galicia

            “Tu hermano es gordino” en Asturias

            “Tu hermano es gorduco” en Cantabria

            “Tu hermano es gordillo” en Andalucía

            “Tu hermano es gordico” en Aragón

            “Tu hermano es gordete” en Cataluña y Valencia

5. Por último, destacamos la curiosidad en el español de México donde es común el uso de diminutivos con adverbios. Así podremos oír fórmulas como “ahorita” o “arribita” con algunos pequeños matices:

“-Ahorita voy.” (en unos pocos minutos voy)

“-No. Ahorita no, … ¡Ven ahora!” (es decir, inmediatamente).

Spending eight weeks learning Spanish in Valencia has been a rewarding experience. When I first arrived here, I had a patchy understanding of how basic Spanish grammar works, which gave me a false sense of confidence coming into the country. I was placed into a class that was far too advanced for my level, and I quickly discovered that my listening and speaking skills were practically non-existent. It is fair to say that I was completely baffed in my first week of lessons. I eventually moved down two groups, so I could work on my listening and speaking skills. This level was much more enjoyable, as I wasn’t in a permanent state of confusion. I have noticed my progress continue to grow steadily over the weeks. Now, I feel like I have enough Spanish to get by on my own and develop my skill independently. Understanding street chit-chat is becoming easier, watching Spanish T.V. is becoming more enjoyable, and I can usually interpret written texts. The teachers at Taronja are young, fun and competent people. Rather than forcing us to fill out boring and repetitive exercise sheets, they make learning more enjoyable by providing innovative activities and games to keep the classroom engaged. The timetable is constantly rotating, so we can benefit from various styles and techniques of each teacher. Valencia is a truly beautiful city in a variety of different ways. The centre of the city is built around two lively squares, made up of old monuments, statues, restaurants, and constant buzz of passing tourists. The surrounding streets are full of character and are brought to life by the detail of their design, the classical Valencian balconies, and the numerous restaurants. The Turia park is another incredible feature of the city. It used to be a large river flowing through the centre of the city, but people decided to drain it after serious floods in the 1950s. Now, it is a riverbed, which has been converted into a lush garden, where people go to escape the city, exercise and relax.

très bonne école de langue Taronja est un école de langue que je recommande vivement ! Ses cours ludiques et intéressants permettent de progresser très rapidement. L'école propose son propre matériel de cours, ce qui permet de varier les thème des cours! De plus, l'école propose un grand nombre d'activités culturelles ou festives en dehors des cours qui permettent aux élèves de connaître la région valencienne et d'apprendre à se connaître. Merci aux professeurs qui sont tous super sympa !!

Most fun & family like school where you learn in a super fun way I was only here for 1 week, but I had the best time ever! The Spanish classes are made really fun, but you also honestly learn a lot, even in 1 week. We played games to learn words, grammar and pronunciation. The two teachers I had (Carol y Pablo) we’re really nice and funny.
The school also offers a lot of activities which are almost free, in this way you can make friends really fast and thats super nice, especially when you come here on your own.
The school itself is right in the city centre, so thats honestly a beautiful location. Everyone should visit Valencia once in their life because the vibes are amazing.
I would defenitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn Spanish, the school almost feels like a family. I am already planning when I can come back:).
