How do I say \"They're small\" in Italian?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "To describe something as small in Italian, you can say 'Loro sono piccole', but a more common translation of 'They're small' is indeed 'Loro sono piccole' for female subjects, however for general use, especially when you are unsure of the gender you can use 'Loro sono piccoli', for a more formal, or general translation you can use 'Loro sono di piccola taglia' or 'Loro sono di piccole dimensioni'. However, another possible translation is 'Loro sono basse', although this is more commonly used to describe height, rather than general size."}]
