Kutti

Kutti can refer to several things, most commonly a small dog or puppy in South Indian languages, particularly Tamil and Malayalam. In this context, it's a term of endearment used for young canines. The word is widely understood and frequently used in everyday conversation and popular culture within these regions.

Beyond its literal meaning of a small dog, "Kutti" has also been adopted into colloquial language as a general term for something small, young, or cute, often applied to children or even small objects. This usage is informal and affectionate.

The term can also appear in personal names or as part of compound words in some contexts, though its primary association remains with young dogs. Its prevalence in common parlance has made it a recognizable word for many, even outside of its linguistic origins. The usage of "Kutti" is generally lighthearted and affectionate, reflecting a cultural fondness for small creatures and young beings.
