Как интересен английский язык! Сколько синонимов и близких по значению слов! Вроде бы означают одно и то же, но различие между ними все же есть. Как же правильно их использовать? Мы собираемся рассмотреть несколько подобных примеров, и начнем с известных всем общеупотребительных слов little, small, tiny, являющихся прилагательными и имеющими одно и то же значение — «маленький», но все же несколько отличающихся друг от друга.
-
Начнем с прилагательного little [ˈlɪtl], которое, прежде всего, указывает на небольшой размер какого-либо объекта или предмета, малолетний возраст кого-либо, и одновременно несет в себе оттенки некого эмоционального отношения и субъективного мнения говорящего – a little box (маленькая коробочка), a little orange (маленький апельсин), a little bed (маленькая кроватка).
• This little girl in her rosy dress looked like a little princes from fairy tales – Эта маленькая девочка в своем розовом платье походила на маленькую принцессу из сказок. -
Прилагательное little используется с неисчисляемыми существительными для обозначения малого, недостаточного количества чего-то, к примеру, денег, воды, сахара, воздуха и т.п. – little money, water, sugar, air.
• There is little salt in the salad – в салате недостаточно соли.
• I have little money to buy a car – у меня не хватает денег, чтобы купить машину. -
Данное прилагательное сочетается с абстрактными существительными для обозначения малой степени чего-либо – надежды, правды, интереса и т.д. – little hope, truth, interest, а также короткую продолжительность какого-то действия – разговора, беседы, прогулки – little talk, walk, незначительность какого-то дела – little matter.
• There is little truth in what you have told us – в том, что вы нам рассказали, мало правды
• The child showed little interest for the toys – ребенок проявил мало интереса к игрушкам
• We have a little talk with him – мы недолго с ним говорили.
Small
- Если словом little мы обозначаем малолетний возраст кого-то, то используя слово small [smɔːl] указываем на небольшой рост человека или размер предмета.
• He was a small but thick man – он был низким и толстым
• My parents had a small house in the country – у моих родителей был небольшой дом в деревне. - Прилагательное small мы используем для указания малого дохода, небольшой вечеринки, компании, толпы и т.д. – a small profit, party, company, crowd, незначительность чего, например, дела, события – a small case, event.
• A small crowd has gathered in front of my house – напротив моего дома собралась небольшая толпа
• This event was too small to pay attention to it – это событие было слишком незначительным, чтобы обращать на него внимание
Tiny
Как Вы заметили из вышеизложенного, общим значением английских синонимов little и small является небольшой размер предмета, к которому они относятся, в других же случаях каждое из этих слов имеет свое значение. В английском языке есть еще одно слово, обозначающее маленький размер предмета – tiny [ˈtaɪnɪ], но не просто маленький, а крошечный, малюсенький. Это слово обладает положительной эмоциональной окраской – малюсенькие крылышки эльфов, крошечные туфельки дюймовочки — tiny wings of elves, tiny shoes of Thumbelina.

Изучая иностранный язык, важно помнить о различиях значений прилагательных, которые переводятся на русский одинаково, особенно если эти слова используются часто.
Разница в использовании small и little, которые употребляются наиболее часто, уже подробно рассматривалась на страницах нашего блога.
Однако, боясь допустить ошибку, не нужно ограничиваться всего двумя словами, ведь существует большое количество других синонимов, о которых вы узнаете из этого материала.
Tiny
Если предмет, который вы описываете, совсем маленький, крошечный, то используйте слово tiny. Однако помните, что tiny – это strong adjective, это значит, что в нем уже заложено значение «очень» и поэтому его нельзя использовать со словом very:
The room was not just small, it was tiny! – Комната была не просто маленькая, она была крохотная!
I saw a tiny stone on the floor. – Я увидел крошечный камень на полу.
Diminutive
Еще один синоним к слову small – diminutive [dɪ’mɪnjutɪv]. По значению это прилагательное приближено к tiny: маленький, крохотный, миниатюрный, и употребляется для описания объектов или людей:
The curtain opened and a diminutive funny man appeared on stage. – Занавес открылся и крохотный смешной человек появился на сцене.
She was standing on the balcony and her figure seemed diminutive. – Она стояла на балконе и ее фигура казалась крохотной.
В английском языке уменьшительно-ласкательные имена называют diminutives, например Tom – это diminutive от Thomas, Alex – это diminutive от Alexander и так далее. Также в английском языке сущесвуют уменьшительные суффиксы (diminutive suffixes), которые придают словам уменьшительные значения.
Minute
Нет, нет, это не 60 секунд, это прилагательное, которое читается [maɪ’n(j)uːt] и обозначает «мелкий, мельчайший», а также «пустяковый, несущественный, незначительный, мелкий», когда речь идет о какой-либо информации либо чем-то абстрактном:
Through the lenses we could see minute particles of sediment. – сквозь увеличительное стекло мы могли видеть мельчайшие частицы осадка.
Their team stood a minute chance to win the competition. – Их команда имела незначительные шансы выиграть соревнование.
Each minute detail was described. – Каждая мельчайшая деталь была описана.
Petite
Слово французского происхождения, которое обычно используют, когда описывают женщину: изящная, миниатюрная. Прилагательное произносится как [pə’tiːt]:
I saw her petite figure in the crowd. – Я увидел ее миниатюрную фигуру в толпе.
My aunt was very petite when she was younger but now she gained weight. – Моя тетя была очень изящной, когда была моложе, но сейчас она набрала вес.
Petty
Прилагательное petty хотя и не описывает физических размеров, но тоже переводится, как «мелкий», в смысле «незначительный, неважный»:
Let’s avoid petty details and go straight to the point. – Давайте упустим мелкие детали и перейдем прямо к делу.
He was not arrested because he committed just a petty offence. – Он не был арестован, потому что он совершил только мелкое хулиганство.
Slight
Маленький, небольшой, в значении «незначительный». Обычно это прилагательное служит для описания каких-либо проявлений, изменений, а не физических размеров предметов:
There was a slight increase in sales in summer. – Летом был небольшой рост продаж.
The damage was not serious, just slight. – Повреждение было небольшим, только незначительным.
Не игнорируйте синонимы знакомых вам слов, наоборот, обращайте на них внимание при работе со словарями, при чтении текстов и вскоре вы заметите, что ваше понимание прочитанного и прослушанного улучшиться, к тому же, это позволит вам точнее выражать свои мысли на английском языке.

small
Fine (Latin finis, end) denotes that which has been brought to a full end, finished. From this root-sense many derived meanings branch out, causing words quite remote from each other to be alike synonyms of fine. That which is truly finished, brought to an ideal end, is excellent of its kind, and beautiful, if a thing that admits of beauty; as, a fine house, fine trees, a fine woman, a fine morning; if a thing that admits of the removal of impurities, it is not finished till these are removed, and hence fine signifies clarified, clear, pure, refined; as, fine gold. That which is finished is apt to be polished, smooth to the touch, minutely exact in outline; hence fine comes to be a synonym for all words like dainty, delicate, exquisite; as, fine manners, a fine touch, fine perceptions. As that which is delicate is apt to be small, by an easy extension of meaning fine becomes a synonym for slender, slight, minute, comminuted; as, a fine thread, fine sand; or for filmy, tenuous, thin; as, a fine lace, fine wire; and as a thin edge is keen, sharp, fine becomes also a synonym for these words; as, a fine point, a fine edge. Compare BEAUTIFUL; MINUTE.
Synonyms:
beautiful, clarified, clear, comminuted, dainty, delicate, elegant, excellent, exquisite, fine, gauzy, handsome, keen, minute, nice, polished, pure, refined, sensitive, sharp, slender, slight, smooth, splendid, subtile, subtle, tenuous, thinAntonyms:
big, blunt, clumsy, coarse, great, heavy, huge, immense, large, rude, stout, thick
