What it means

  1. Small, little. In Scotland and Northern Ireland it is not slang so much as the ordinary word, and it is often affectionate rather than literally about size.

In use

  • Give me a wee minute.

    Note: Nothing here is actually small. wee softens the request.

  • We stopped at a wee café by the loch.
