"Bambino" is an Italian word, which from what I've seen is used for both infants/babies and toddlers.

Just watch movies like mafia/mob stuff where the head Boss is Italian, and says things like "bring the Bambinos" when talking about kids...

'bambinos' does not exist within the Italian language. It is an American-English word coined by advertising to suggest Italian decent or influence. 'bambini' / 'bambinia' is the plural of 'bambino'. Many words in Italian are either male or gender specific, including the word 'the' - 'il' gender neutral 'la' female 'le' male. This 'gender specific' terminology within many Europen languages is one of the stumbling bloocks for natural English speakers to learn said language. However, on the reverse side, English has many words for the same/similar meaning. It also repeats words (by pronounciation but differently spelt - psion / sign (as a display item) / sign (to offer ones signature) / sign (to indicate via gestures)) for different meanings.

Geez you guys, just checked out this thread and it took until post #29 before someone made a reference to Babe Ruth, "the great bambino"!! No baseball fans I guess. That's the first thing that came to my mind. Oh well.
