i'm watching ESWC counter-strike 1.6 and this team all has inhio at the end of their names.


google just gives me inhio as the meaning of it. 🙁

 

[DaWhim]

can it be a latin suffix?

It means small. Like GATO is cat....GATINHO would be little cat.

Xcrown

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

like ito and ita in spanish?

...so i just thought that burritio means little donkey, or little a$$...i kinda feel bad for eating so many over the years

it means small... Ronaldinho means something like "small Ronaldo"

 

[quizzelsnatch]

ahhh. i see. that's what i thought it meant. I know that portuguese is pretty close to spanish and we both suspected that it meant something like small.

It means small or little. Ronaldinho translated is Little Ronald (like little richie). Ronaldinho is not his real name, just his nickname (well usually that's the case at least, although I wouldn't be surprised if every now and then it actually is their real name, it's just usually pretty childish)

His actual name is Ronaldo De Assis Moreira but since there already is a famous "Ronaldo" he became known as Ronaldinho (since he's younger than Ronaldo)
