Learning notes
Explanation
ขนาดเล็ก is made from ขนาด, “size” or “scale,” plus เล็ก, “small.” It follows the noun it modifies, as in รถขนาดเล็ก “small car” or บริษัทขนาดเล็ก “small company.” Compared with เล็ก alone, it sounds more objective and category-based, so it is common in product descriptions, specifications, business writing, and news.
Usage
Use it when specifying product size, describing the size of cars, rooms, bags, machines, and similar things, or talking about the scale of a company, business, factory, or project.
Caution
For people, use ตัวเล็ก to say someone is small or has a small build. คนขนาดเล็ก usually sounds unnatural.
