hi dabeed,
your phrase should take the verb "ser" (not "estar"), "No
sea tontito, hombre", but I guess if you want "tontito" (not offensive, rather endearingly), you're addressing someone close, and in an informal tone, therefore you would use the "tuteo" ("voseo" in Argentina): "No
seas tontito, [name]." (the "hombre" doesn't match the close- informal- endearing tone). another thing to bear in mind: if you're addressing a female, it should be "
tontita"
