I don't know what "el jevito" or "de pi..." mean. The punctuation is bad but here is my effort.
Girlfriend, "el jevito" left yesterday, "de pi..." I feel empty.
And your folks? How are things with you?
A little kiss and an I love you.
I've heard the term "jevo/jeva/jevita/jevita", and they all refer to a guy or a girl. For example: 'ta linda la jevita' means 'that's a cute/pretty girl' or 'este es mi jevo' = 'this is my man/boyfriend'
In this case it's a guy, so the guy left.
I, too, don't know what 'de pi' means.
Hi! Little late for this but here it goes.
jevo/jeva, exactly what Dragona pointed out, widely used but by men mainly and it's not polite or formal.
de pi... it's a shortening for a bad word, the translation would be the F word.
Hope it helps!
The word jevo or jeva, or jevito or jevita means a guy or girl that is almost like a boyfriend or girlfriend. It's like a special friend with benefits that has the potential of becoming a girlfriend or boyfriend....at least that's how the word is used in Puerto Rico.
and do girls usually use the term when talking with their girl friends?
like here in the sentence...?
"Jevito" is not a bad word or anything, at least not in Puerto Rico. It is sort of like "boyfriend". In Puerto Rico, both guys and girls use the term as they would use any other word.Quote:

Yes, jevito is like a bf or "hook up." not to be too explicit, but what is 'de pi'?
de pi...could be (spellings aren't correct) pingar. The way it was explained to me Cahona Pingar, was similar to calling some a F*** Pr**k in the uk....so use your imagination a little to fit it into context.
"de pi..." abreviation for de pinga. it's a vulgar expression that refrest to the man's --- word.
when people say something is de pinga...it means it is terrible, it is not ok.
so when she said that el jevito se fue, de pi... (it is something terrible)
Viejito - "viejito" is the diminutive of "viejo" - old man - (the diminutive is commonly used to accentuate a feeling affection in a terms)
de pi: (?)
me siento vacia, : (to give a person a feeling of emptiness)
¿y tu gente?, (in the context: "gente" = "family") = How about you family?
y ¿Cómo van tus cositas? = is a: "What's up?"
Un besito y un te quiero. = "besito" = diminutive of "beso", ="kiss" - "un besito" = "a little kiss " - "y un" = "and a".. - "te quiero" = "I love you"
El jevito= the boyfriend, and de pi... is short for de pinga! My cuban boyfriend says it all the time, in unpleasant, annoying, irritating contexts.
My family is Cuban and to me when I read "el jevo" it would be the boyfriend or a guy someone is seeing/dating and "de pi" would be short for de p*nga which can could be F**k or damn.
"el jebito" es una forma de decir pareja pero en jerga, mas bien de forma poco formal, como si fuera algo poco serio, es medio despectivo incluso... no todos permiten ser llamados asi.
En Argentina se le decía antiguamente: festejante. Los jóvenes de ahora le dicen "chongo".
Hola, ahh ya veo el significado de "jevito", o será "jebito" con "b"?
usualmente es con "v" pero como es jerga no esa reconocida por la RAE por tanto tambien se puede escribir con "b" aunque es menos comun
