It's a bit off topic but I'll also add that this word is one where its meaning changes significantly between the Portuguese from Portugal (where it means (male) child) and Portuguese from Brazil (same meaning as in Spanish), which when used by a Portuguese person talking to a Brazillian person can lead to a bit of an awkward situation (it's happened to me a few times since I don't even register the meaning of it in Brazil until after I've already said it and see the reaction of the person I'm talking to)

It can also mean the word "nothing" in Portugal but that's dependent on context.
