Diminutives in Spanish

Probably you are already familiarized with diminutives because, in Mexico, we use them a lot. Maybe you have already heard "un poquito", "al ratito" or even "un cafecito". Diminutives are commonly used in Spanish. It is the way to state that something (either a noun, adjective, or even proper names) is small and we have several situations in which to use them.
