What do you call little man in Russian?

There isn't one single word in Russian for "little man". The closest you could get would be using a diminutive form of "человек" (chelovek, meaning "person") or "мужчина" (muzhchina, meaning "man").

Here are a few options:

Using diminutives:

* Человечек (chelovechek) - This is a diminutive of "человек" and translates literally to "little person".

* Мужчинка (muzhchinka) - This is a diminutive of "мужчина" and translates literally to "little man".

* Маленький человек (malen'kiy chelovek) - This literally means "small person".

Other options:

* Малыш (malysh) - This means "little one" or "baby" and is a common term of endearment for a small child. It could be used for a little man in some contexts.

* Парнишка (parnishka) - This means "young man" or "lad". It is a less formal and more casual term than "мужчина".

The best choice will depend on the specific context and tone you want to convey.
