David Ortiz got the nickname "Big Papi" because in Spanish, "papi" is a term of endearment that means "daddy" or "father." Since Ortiz was a powerful hitter and a veteran leader on his teams, his teammates and fans started calling him "Big Papi" as a sign of respect and admiration.
"Papi" is a term of endearment in Spanish similar to "daddy" in English. It can be used to refer to a man in a loving or affectionate way, often by a child or partner.
In Cuban Spanish, "daddy" is typically translated as "papรก" or "papi."
"Tu veo pronto papi" is not grammatically correct in Spanish. It seems to be a mix of different phrases. "Te veo pronto, papi" would mean "I'll see you soon, daddy" in English.
"Dali papi" can be a phrase in Spanish that loosely translates to "give me daddy." It is often used informally to express desire or attraction.
"Papi donde estas" is Spanish for "Daddy, where are you?" It is a phrase commonly used to ask the whereabouts of someone's father.
