"I want a little bit."

Translation: Ne voglio un pochino.

[webMan1]

Why "Voglio un po'." and not "voglio un po"?

[mukkapazza]

Po' is un troncamento or apocope which just means that it is a shortened form of poco and the correct way to write it is with the apostrophe (without the accent, you're making a geographical reference!)

[mangoHero1]

I thought it was pochino

[jyseltz]

Apparently pochino is a pet name (diminutive form) for poco.

[GScottOliver]

So un poco means "a little" or "a bit", and un pochino means "a little bit". This is very similar to French un peu and un petit peu.

[ajitirj]

Geographical reference?

[jyseltz]

I believe mukkapazza is referring to the Po river:

[ravjeremy]

This seems like one where they should say "almost." It's a minor spelling error.

[Findil]

Duo usually accepts such minor mistakes, unless they change the meaning, just like in this case. As mukkapazza and jyseltz said, Po without an apostrophe is the name of a river, and I think that's a pretty big difference.

[ThomasFAustria]

DL gave the translation "Ne voglio un pochino". What does this "Ne" mean?

[Duolessio]

It means "of it". In Italian you have to use this particle, you cannot just say "Voglio un po'", you have to specify, like in "Voglio un po' di pane", or you can use "ne" if it has already been mentioned or it's clear what you mean (as when you are pointing at it)

[melis7992]

When do we use "un po' " and when "un pochino"?

[Rosebelle28]

That's my question, too.

[jassna]

un po' is so similar to french "un peu" :)

[computeristic]

"Ne voglio un pochino." What does Ne mean and when do we use it?

[AndreaMLB]

I had the accent on pó and it still marked it incorrect

[RiccardoCa33]

Because it is incorrect, even if many Italians type it with the accent. The correct form is with the apostrophe.

[lookatm3]

How do you create the ' over the o?....its saying I'm wrong because I can't create that on my phone

[f.formica]

That's a normal apostrophe, the same one you use in "I'm", nothing extraordinary.

[maratha1]

On my tablet I just hold my finger on the letter and different forms of the letter appears ò ó ô ö

[egregor1]

used the accent as required but still marked as incorrect!

[haydee14p]

I put the accent in the wrong place and it was marked wrong
