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?)
