Something lilliputian is extremely small next to the normal size of that kind of thing — not just small, but almost tiny, like the people of Lilliput. You can use it for cups, rooms, budgets, even problems. It is a , slightly playful word; in everyday talk people more often say tiny or miniature. It can also name a very small person, but the adjective is the sense you will meet most. Spell it with a small l unless you clearly mean of Lilliput itself.
極小的（像小人國那樣）
組成From Lilliput, the fictional island in Gulliver's Travels, + -ian (of that place / in that manner). So: like Lilliput; tiny.
