Tips to Remember the Russian Word:
1. Associate "малСнький" with "mini", as both start with "m" and indicate something small.
2. Visualize matryoshka dolls (Russian nesting dolls) which get smaller, to link "малСнький" with something diminutive.

Explanations:
"МалСнький" (malen'kiy) is an adjective in Russian used to describe something that is small in size or extent. It's the diminutive form, hence more intimate or affectionate compared to "ΠΌΠ°Π»Ρ‹ΠΉ" (maliy), which also means small but can sometimes be formal or technical.

– *ΠΊΡ€ΠΎΡˆΠ΅Ρ‡Π½Ρ‹ΠΉ* (kroshechnyy) – tiny
– *ΠΌΠ΅Π»ΠΊΠΈΠΉ* (melkiy) – fine, shallow, or small in particle size
