Cachito

Here are some informal ways to say a little bit of something in Spanish.

Cachito

A cachito is a small quantity of something.

• El último cachito de queso. The remaining (small) piece of cheese.
• Con su cachito de inglés. With the little English he knows.

Y cacho

Y cacho can be used to add a bit to a numerical quantity.

• Tiene dos años y cacho. He's just over two (years old).
• A las once y cacho. Just after 11:00.
• Me voy en tres semanas y pico. I'm leaving in a little over three weeks.

A more formal equivalent would be y fracción.

Y pico

Y pico works just like y cacho.

• Me voy en tres semanas y pico. I'm leaving in a little over three weeks.

Tantito

• Espérame tantito. This is the usual way to say Hang on a sec. Note that tanto doesn't work here.

Otro poco

• ¿Me das otro poco? Could I have a bit more (for example, another serving)?

An informal way to say a lot of something is chorro.
