chico
/ˈt͡ʃiko/ · A1 · adj
boy
👦 chico sounds like cheeky: the cheeky little boy
Say CHEE-ko and you nearly say cheeky, a word English reserves for small, bold kids. One word covers both senses: small (adjective) and boy or lad (noun). Chicos, like guys, addresses a group; chica and chicas are the feminine forms.
