Liten and litt both refer to the smallness of something, but when you are talking about how much Norwegian you speak, there is a subtle difference.
Jeg snakker litt norsk.
I speak a little Norwegian.
Jeg snakker lite norsk.
I speak little Norwegian.
The first implies, "yes, I speak [a bit of] Norwegian, please feel free to carry on", while the second is "I don't understand, please help!"
Jeg snakker bare litt norsk.
I speak only a little Norwegian.
Vennligst snakk saktere.
Please speak more slowly.
Hva betyr det?
What does that mean?
