( = young) petit2. adverb3. noun4. compounds━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Aux États-Unis, une ville de moins de 10 000 habitants est une « petite ville » ( small town). Le terme « village », peu utilisé, évoque plutôt l'ancien continent ou les pays du tiers-monde. Les populations des petites villes sont généralement appréciées pour les valeurs qu'elles incarnent: gentillesse, honnêteté, politesse, rapports de bon voisinage et patriotisme.
