How do you pronounce this word?

Question:I used the word 'littler' today, and was told it was not a word. It is infact the adjective to little. I guess I must not be pronouncing it correctly. Help so I can start saying it properly.

Answers:
little-er
I don't think littler is a word. Smaller is definitely a word -- you could use that one.
i dont think littler is a word
uhm maybe you should try
saying smaller lol.
I believe that smaller, tinier, (more) petite, lesser or less than, of smaller dimension might be more appropriate.
I doubted its validity too. Indeed it's not listed on www.askoxford.com, but it IS listed on www.chambersharrap.co.uk so I stand corrected.

To pronounce it, say "little" then follow it with "uh".
When peter threw a big rock into the water it made a huge gigantic splash.
When Peter's younger brother Paul threw a littler stone into the same water it made a very small ripple, but then again Paul was tiny compared to Peter,
I would say LITTLE - er.
It sounds better than LIT ler, which seems to be missing a syllable.
It would be correct to say that the pronunciation of littler would be little-er or - according to WordWeb - litulu(r).
say it quickly: lid-uh-ler
