Gurí
/Sounds like "goo" (as in "good") + "REE" (as in "reed")/
In Uruguay, the most natural word for a boy or young kid, warm and deeply Uruguayan in flavor. It comes from Guaraní, reflecting the indigenous influence on Rioplatense Spanish. Adults also use it affectionately to refer to someone younger than them.
“Los gurises salieron a jugar en la vereda después de cenar.”
“The kids went out to play on the sidewalk after dinner.”
“El gurí ese aprende rápido, tiene mucho potencial.”
“That kid learns fast, he's got a lot of potential.”
