Diminutives:
The general rule of diminutives is that you will simply replace the ending of a word with "ito/ita" or “illo/illa” to indicate either smallness or affection. So please keep in mind that diminutives are not only used to indicate affection but also to indicate small size. These suffixes, and their plurals, are attached to words ending in consonants other than n or r (see bullet,, below) or will replace an a, o, as, or os in any other noun or adjective. Diminutives can be made from nouns or adjectives. This means they will have to match in both gender and number.
Examples: Abuela – Abuelita. Año- añito Pequeño- pequeñito Señal- señalito
Los perros negros- los perritos negritos
Now let me give you the exceptions to the rule of just simply adding ""ito/ita" to the ending of a word.
Spelling issues:
· "Ito/ita" changes to "cito/cita" if the noun ends in "n" or "r" or if the noun ends in "e" and has more than one syllable.
La joven - la jovencita A la jovencita le gusta bailar. The teenage girl likes to dance.
Madre - madrecita (dear mother) Padre- padrecito
· "C" becomes "qu" before adding "ito/ita" to the ending of the word. Por ejemplo:
Chica – Chiquita Eres muy chiquita. You are very small (feminine).
· "G" becomes "gu" before adding "ito/ita" to the ending of the word. Por ejemplo:
Gringo - gringuito Amigo – amiguito Mis amiguitos me llaman Gringuito. My friends call me Gringuito.
· "Z" becomes "c" before adding "ito/ita" to the ending of the word. Por ejemplo:
Lorenzo – Lorencito Su apodo es Lorencito. His nickname is Lorencito.
· When a noun has two syllables and the first syllable has "ie" or "ue" and the nouns ends in "o" or "a," you drop the "o" or "a" and add "ecito/ecita." This same rule applies to one-syllable nouns ending in a consonant:
La fiesta -- la fiestecita (little party) La flor -- la florecita (little flower)
· There is one diminutive word that I have heard Spanish speakers use that does not follow any of the above rules. And that word is: mamacita
"Mamacita" literally mean "little mama" but a closer translation would be "sexy girl" or "sexy woman." Por ejemplo:
Ella es una mamacita! She is a sexy girl!

Superlatives:
In Spanish, there is a type of superlative adjective form that makes that adjective even more extreme. When the Spanish suffix -ísimo is added to an adjective, it has the same effect as placing the word “very” in front of an English adjective. Like any adjective ending in -o, these superlatives have four forms to match the gender and number of the nouns they modify. Notice in the examples below that an adjective that ends in -go will change to gu in front of the -ísimo ending. Also, a -co ending changes to qu and a final -z changes to c.
lindo (pretty) / lindísimo (very pretty)alto (tall) / altísimo (very tall)
rico (rich) / riquísimo (very rich)
largo (long) / larguísimo (very long)
feliz (happy) / felicísimo (very happy)
