As before said " little skinny girl". Usually it's used as a "cute" way to call your girlfriend (but she actually should be at least thin. Otherwise it doesn't make sense or it could even be ofensive if she's thick because it could be taken as sarcasm/irony)

A pretty skinny girl or lady. Flakita, in Mexico we write it as: Flaquita, with Q no K.

Interesting question Davek! Now, because of the varying dialects in Spanish, flaquita wherever you got it from is most probably spelt that way. However in Spanish from Spain, it is flaquita with a "q". It just means skinny. Not skim but quite a skinny built/body shape. Bonita is beautiful so in this context it would be "beautiful skinny" which is a fork of banter otherwise known as a joke with friends and family often endearing. Hope that makes sense! :)

Yes Flakita bonita translates to little skinny girl , and can be used to call someone cute or pretty. It’s a type of compliment.
Pretty sexy girl is the meaning
As the other persons anwer, it means "little skinny pretty girl" but it is writte incorrectly. The correct word is "Flaquita bonita" and it is a way to call someone in a cute way.
Flakita bonita es una forma coqueta y cariñosa de tratar a la chica que quieres
it means beautiful skinny girl.
Es un piropo, in english a compliment
¡Hola, DaveK! Yeah, "flakita bonita" is slang for calling someone (in this case a girl) a "fine (pretty) thin thing (girl)" - if it were to be translated to American slang. Hope all these wonderful answers help you in any way! Best, Kae

En español? Como profe encuentro que en español de España es muy difícil aprender las conjugaciones y las preposiciones, porque repiten mucho su uso en el caso de las preposiciones, en Latino América no repetimos el uso de una preposición. En castellano latinoamericano, encuentro que les es difícil escuchar una conversación real porque tenemos una diferencia demasiado grande de acentos entre frontera y frontera, y de sinónimos, y en la mayoría de los países de LATAM se mezclan expresiones de algún idioma indígena originario con el castellano, no es PURO castellano. Así que es Español las preposiciones y conjugación (Gramática) En castellano los acentos y sinónimos (Escucha y vocabulario)
