The diminutive in English is often expressed by saying little, small, tiny, wee, or other such adjectives in front of the noun.
Little car, small car, tiny car.

Then I can yo say this,

Carrito, Tiny car
Carro Pequeño, a little car
Carro Chico, small car.


If I made up it, please you tell me, it's very important for me, because until day I don't to say the things in Diminutive, remember it's very important, I have understood that I have used the word Tiny, but I know that could to be not correct in all the words as diminutive.

It's important to note that in English we almost always use these 'diminutive' adjectives to indicate that something really is small.
In Spanish, diminutives are used much more frequently and seldom mean that the object really is small. Be careful not to overuse the English adjectives. Only use them when the object really is small.
