how do you spell minute as in small

The word you want is spelled minute , exactly the same as the time word, but pronounced differently.

For time: minute = “MIN-it” (60 seconds).
For small: minute = “my-NOOT” (meaning very small, tiny, or detailed).

Example sentences:

“The baby’s hands are minute.” (very small)

“She examined the minute details of the painting.”
