/Sounds like 'choh-LEE-toh'/
An affectionate term for someone of indigenous or humble Andean origin in Bolivia and Peru. It can be warmly endearing when used by someone from the same community, but carries complex layers of class and race when used by outsiders. Context and tone make all the difference.
"El cholito de la tienda siempre me guarda lo mejor. → "The guy at the shop always saves the best stuff for me."
"Le dicen cholito con mucho cariño en el barrio. → "They call him that affectionately in the neighborhood."
