You’re cute. I’m cute. We’re cute. At least, that’s what they say in Canada. I’ve learned during my time here that the word “cute” is used to describe someone good-looking, sexy, or attractive. However, as a newcomer to Canada, and after getting weird looks, I’ve learned that the word “cute” does not mean the same thing worldwide…
Now, before you try to gain any Latino heart, let’s define “cute” in Spanish. Cute is a nice way of saying “I like you, but not in that way.” If you are new to Canada, you might want to be careful who you call cute. Trust me, it is not always translated as “kawaii” (the word I’ve found globally translates to what, for me, cute really means). And between you and everyone else… you’re smoking cute!
