Studying the examples of wordreference, I can see than they say:
A small car = un cochecito
A little cat = un gatito
A little boy = uni niño
Should I use "small" with inanimate objects and "little" with animate ones?

On the ferry to Sweden I thought I heard a
German order
a litre of oil at the bar
(Ein Liter Öl)
In fact he was
Swedish, asking for a
small beer (En liten öl, tack)
Liten is a direct translation of
little
Öl (Swedish) is a translation of
ale (English
beer)
Öl (German) is
oil in English
I have also heard English people call beer
Neck Oil
