Colloquially we say, "He is my little brother." for "He is my younger brother." Children sometimes say, "He is littler than me." for "He is younger than me." but never "He is smaller/shorter than me" to refer to age. The context usually makes if clear that age rather than size is meant for '"little, littler", but it does seem that the Hindi usage is more ambiguous as to size or age. Do you Hindi speakers ever find छोटा ambiguous?
