Any native Spanish speakers or people raised in Bilingual households?
Help me settle a debate, please:
A guy said "Hola Amorcito bonito" to a GIRL This is wrong, yeah? I lived in ecuador for a time and had 3 electricians working under me who spoke no english, so I knew he was wrong and yet both the man (un gringo) and the woman he was talking to (una gringa) both argued with me that I was wrong. During the course of this exchange he told her "(el) no entendio espaņol" Then they went and defended that blunder too! Thing is, the guy I don't much care for, but I was forced to tell the girl that his (the man's) spanish sucks, his conjugation is shit and her defense of his horrible, half-assed pig spanish is leading me to believe that her claim of being fluent is suspect. |

It seems to me that it should have been "amorcita bonita" if anything, but to me either way sounds clumsy. |

Well,the rule about words ending with o being masculine does apply here, amorcito (little love) is masculine and therefore the adjective that goes with it is masculine too. I am not sure what the grammar rule is, but thatīs the way it is, spanish is my first language.
