hola! me pregunto si hay una diferencia en sentido entre niño y chico o niña y chica? me parecen sinónimos pero creo que se usan en contextos diferentes
gracias!
I would say generally they kinda read as synonymous but there is a lot of nuance
chico/a is like "kid" - it literally means "small" so you can see it used as "small" or "little"
The main difference between the two is that chico/a can really be used for all ages; it can be "kid" or sometimes adult friends call each other this like "boy" or "girl" in a friendly way, almost like "bro" and "chick" [sometimes "dude" gets translated as chico/a; but friends being like "these are my bros" or "these are my girls" ...tends to be chico/a]
...You probably would not want to call your friend mi niño/a as it sounds very weird, like either they are much younger than you and/or you are their parent; while chico/a or mi chico/a can be very friendly and used for children or adults
With niño/a it tends to be "child" sometimes almost "baby", and so it's best applied to very young kids; the official word for "babysitter" is niñero/a for example, and la niñez refers to "childhood" but I always take it to mean "when I was very little"
-
Small additional note: niño/a is also sometimes used to discuss the gender of babies, like in the "it's a boy" or "it's a girl" kind of way
niño/a tends to imply a very young child so if someone calls an adult this they are either a parent talking to their child... or sometimes it can read as belittling, calling someone a baby or immature
