Cultural Note

Pequeño can mean both 'small' (in size) and 'young' (in age), especially when talking about children: 'los pequeños' (the little ones/children). The diminutive suffix '-ito/-ita' is often used instead of pequeño: 'casita' (little house). 'El Principito' (The Little Prince) uses this same root.
