When do you use pequeno, and when pouco?

from Daily Portuguese - Coelho School · host Coelho School

Today’s episode is a quick mini-topic that can be tricky: pequeno vs pouco. Pequeno describes size, while pouco describes quantity - it sounds simple, but in practice it’s easy to mix them up, especially at the beginning of learning Portuguese. We hope this episode makes it clearer so you won’t have to guess anymore whether you want pouco milk in your coffee… or a bit more.
