papi
/ˈpapi/ · A2 · noun · m
dad
👨 papi = papá + affectionate -i, like dad → daddy
Papi is papá made cuter with an -i ending, the same move as English dad → daddy. Like daddy, it stretched beyond fathers: a term of endearment for a male partner, and in Caribbean and US Latino Spanish a casual bro or dude.
