Japanese question?? chotto? :o?

Question:


I need to know how to use it.
like i want to say Too small. and I want to use chotto. Im almost positive you can ^^" Maybe..

I want to say The shirt is too small. Or jacket. It would be Jaketto o chotto chiisana. Right? Oh and how do you say chotto in hiragana? With the two t's how do you write it? THANK YOU! :D

Answer:


This is a subtle difference,but "chotto" means "little".
I recommend "too small" is "chiisa sugimasu" .

This jacket is too small.
Kono(this) Jaketto wa(is) chiisa(small) sugimasu(too).
このジャケットは、ちいさすぎます。

And I think "chotto" is mainly used colloquially.
"sukoshi"(すこし) is more polite and useful.
We can use it both of in conversation and in texts.
