What does LITTLE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Small in size, amount, or degree, often used to suggest something modest, young, or endearing rather than merely small.
Little describes physical smallness, as in a little house, but it just as often adds a shade of affection, sympathy, or condescension that plain small lacks, as in a poor little thing. It can also modify amounts, meaning not much, and combines with a to mean some, as in a little water, which differs sharply from little water meaning almost none. As an adverb it can mean hardly at all, and as a noun it stands for a small amount by itself.
