A little bit!
We’ve already seen how to complain politely by adding 有点儿 (yóudiǎr, a little too much) before an adjective (for example, 有点儿贵). Use a slightly different phrase, 一点儿 (yìdiǎr), before nouns to talk about a small amount of something.
Notice that while 有点儿 (yóudiǎr) can be used for complaints, 一点儿 (yìdiǎr) is for more neutral observations.
