Which is the diminutive for "sabroso"? "Sabrosita" or "sabrocita"?

Question

The word is *sabroso* and am wondering which is the correct diminutive form? - Sabrocita, or- Sabrosita I've seen both used in writings, names of restaurants, etc. Is there a rule?

Answer 1

Grammatically, "sabrosito" would be correct, because the root "sabroso" already contains the "s," similar to "besitos," as stated above.

To demonstrate the other option, take the word "pobre." It's diminutive is "pobrecito."

However, between peers or online, you might see "sabrocito," as there is no real focus on grammar in these informal settings. Similarly with businesses, the spelling changes can be for brand recognition, such as the backwards "R" in Toys R Us, or the "z" in Sheetz. Both are technically misspelled, but easily understood.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Sabroso = sabrosito.

Besos= besitos.
