/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "goo" (as in "good") + "EEN" (as in "eagle")/
A Nicaraguan word for kid, little boy, or rugrat, especially when the child is being mischievous or getting into everything. Comes from Náhuatl and survived in popular Nicaraguan speech as a warmer, more street alternative to "niño." Used with affection or mild exasperation depending on context.
“Ese chigüín no para quieto, ya rompió dos platos hoy solo. (That kid won't stay still, he already broke two plates today by himself.)”
“Mis chigüines me tienen loca, pero igual los adoro. (My kids are driving me crazy, but I love them all the same.)”
/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "goo" (as in "good") + "EEN" (as in "eagle")/
A small child or little kid in Nicaragua, one of the most affectionate words in the Nicaraguan vocabulary. You say "chiguin" with a smile, picturing a little one running around causing harmless mischief. It captures the whole energy of early childhood in a single word.
“Los chigüines están jugando en el patio y arman puro escándalo.”
“The little kids are playing in the yard and making a total ruckus.”
“Ese chigüín ya quiere manejar y apenas tiene diez años.”
“That kid already wants to drive and he is barely ten years old.”

Tigrito
A small, quick informal job done on the side to earn a little extra in Venezuela. The "tigrito" is the hustle of the day, that extra bit of cash that always comes in handy.
