Editors Contribution
Nanai
It means giving affection, pampering, comforting. It is the act itself or (to a lesser extent) also who gives or receives them. It can also be considered a magic word or spell, since sometimes the word is used to change reality for the better, without the need for an act per se (without the act of "giving nanai"), as when a child is distressed or with pain, one repeatedly says the word nanai to make them feel better.
- Si vienes a mi casa, te voy a hacer nanai (dar cariño). - Ven y hazme nanai, lo necesito (dar mimos). - Te duele? Nanai, ya va a pasar (consuelo) - (él/ella) Es súper nanai, me cae bien como trata a los niños (persona)
