A popular Spanish word for ‘little boy’ is crío. As a result, Castilian Spanish speakers use this word in informal settings to refer to babies and toddlers, specifically. However, sometimes it can be used sarcastically to point out that someone is being immature.
The last Spanish word for boy in this list is morro. This is a very common word in Mexican slang since it can be applied in many different ways. One of its many uses is as an informal synonym of ‘boy’ and ‘guy’, as it works for both kids and young men.
For example, chaval is a Castilian Spanish word that people use to refer to children and young people. Since it can also be a way to refer to teenagers and young adults, sometimes ‘chaval’ is translated as ‘guy’.
In this context, ‘joven’ means ‘young man’ or ‘gentleman’ but in more relaxed settings, it can also mean ‘boy’ or ‘guys’.
Take Note: ‘ Muchacha ’, the feminine version of ‘muchacho’, is also an informal term used in Mexico to refer to cleaning ladies. So in this context, it’s translated as ‘maid’.
A similar case is the Mexican slang term ‘chavo’, which is used to refer to young men and works as a synonym of ‘guy’ as well.
Another common term that Spanish speakers use to refer to young men is ‘muchacho’. This word is mostly directed towards boys in their teenage years and young adults, so it can be translated as ‘boy’, ‘young man’ and ‘guy’.
