/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "kee" (as in "keep") + "LEEN" (as in "lead")/
A small child or very young person with little experience, said affectionately or slightly condescendingly depending on tone. In Uruguay and Argentina, 'chiquilín' has the warmth of watching a kid grow up: endearing when said to a child, pointed when said to someone who should know better.
“Look at the little one running!”
“That kid thinks he already knows everything.”
