What is this the diminutive of? I cannot find this jeitosinha in any dictionary. I have found jeitozinha. Is it the same word with a different spelling?
I believe its the word Jeitoso/jeitosa (meaning someone skillful/clever /attractive) but with the suffix of -inha to make it ‘cuter’. so Jeitosinha is a little clever girl or a handy/ resourceful woman in an endearing way. Another example of using this suffix is pequeno or a cuter version is pequinho.
@smcchelle , as @hangriffiths28 said, it’s the diminutive of jeitosa. Just a note that for the most part, jeitoso/jeitosa and its diminutives are used in reference to a person’s physical attractiveness, even though other uses are possible.
