How do you say small in Portuguese?

"Small" in Portuguese can be said in a few ways, depending on the context and the gender of the noun you're describing:

For masculine nouns:

* Pequeno (pronounced peh-KEH-noo) - This is the most common and general way to say "small."

* Miúdo (pronounced mee-OO-doo) - This is more informal and can also mean "thin" or "young."

For feminine nouns:

* Pequena (pronounced peh-KEH-nah) - This is the feminine form of "pequeno."

* Miúda (pronounced mee-OO-dah) - This is the feminine form of "miúdo."

Examples:

* Um carro pequeno (a small car)

* Uma casa pequena (a small house)

* Ele é miúdo (He is small/thin/young)

* Ela é miúda (She is small/thin/young)

You can also use the word pequeno for both masculine and feminine nouns, but it's more common to use the gender-specific forms when possible.
