How do you say "cute" in Spanish?

Question

I did on online translation that said "mono"-- but I wanted to know from a native speaker if that was correct.

Thanks!

Thanks!!
I work with little kids who are learning to speak English and I am dying to tell them they are so cute in their native language!
(Mono/Monkey might be great for a couple of the little boys! LOL)

Answer 1

Male--Guapo--El chico es guapo. (The boy is cute)

Female--Guapa--La chica es guapa. (The girl is cute)

Object--Bonito(a)--El jarron es bonito. (The vase is cute)

"Mono" is also used sometimes in Spain; i.e. Ese chico es muy mono. (That guy is very cute).

Careful! Mono also means "monkey"!!

In my opinion, "guapo(a)" just sounds better. It is also used more often.

Answer 2

"Mono" is an informal word, besides it isn´t used in every Spanish speaking country. You can also say "lindo", or "churro" (this one is a very informal Argentinian word).In my opinion, "guapo" would be the best word for it.
Be careful! Mono also means "monkey" so if you say that someone is "mono" it´s OK, but if you say he´s A "mono" you might be insulting him. To be on the safe side, use "guapo"·
hope this helps

Answer 3

In Mexico, you say "chulo(a)".
But be careful!
In some parts chulo is a pimp and in Puerto Rico
it's a type of vulture!
Amazing how words can change meanings that way!

Answer 4

You can also say "curioso or curiosa" if it is a girl.
Do NOT say mono in Mexico, not a common way of saying it, and they won't respond well to it most of the time.

Answer 5

Lindo, linda

Answer 6

lindo, because mono means monkey or teddy bear.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

bonito

Answer 10
