An endearing term used to show affection for a female. Usually used by a latino and/or directed towards a latina. Most common in
family situations, or between best friends who consider each other closer than
family.
Can also be used to describe a young female, like the way Bernie Mac calls his youngest neice "baby
girl". The mature version would be "mami".
"Mamita vete pa' la cama, te ves cansada."
(Baby
girl go to bed, you look
tired.)
"Mamita, pon la mesa, por favor."
(Sweetheart, set the table, please.)
"Mamita! Donde estas?"
(Hey you! Where you at?)
"
Aye mamita...por que siempre te metes en problemas?"
(Jeez babe...why are you always getting into trouble?)
