How it's used
Adding the suffix 仔 to animal names is a common way to indicate that the animal is small or young. While 驢仔 specifically refers to a young donkey, it is often used affectionately to describe any donkey that is noticeably smaller than an adult one. It carries a much warmer and more informal tone than the standard term 驢.
