_._._a little small

:blossom: In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. :blossom:

Hi!

Agent: This is the living room.

Woman: So, this is a furnished apartment.

Agent: Yeah. Show you the kitchen, and this is the kitchen, the stove,
and the sink, and the fridge.

Woman: Fridge’s a little small, isn’t it? ←

Agent: Right. ←

Woman: Yeah.

Agent: Come down the hall, I’ll show you the bathroom.




What do they really say?

I think “It” refer to the kitchen and the kitchen is small.

I think they say:

Woman: OK. It’s a little small, isn’t it? ←

Agent: Tight. ←

OR

Woman: All right. It’s a little small, isn’t it? ←

Agent: Tight. ←

Thank you

It’s difficult to hear the fine details.

I think she says “[All]right. It’s a little small, isn’t it?”
I think she’s saying “all right”, but barely saying the first syllable. It sounds a bit like “uh-right”.

It might be “tight”.

“I think “It” refers to the kitchen and the kitchen is small .“
Yes. I don’t hear “fridge” or “the fridge”. For “it” to be the fridge, she would need to be indicating it by pointing or opening the door.

I have one more question:

The adjective tight is usually used for clothes, shoes, etc. Is it common in English to use the adjective tight for a place like the kitchen or the bathroom or the bedroom?

Thank you

Right. It’s a little small, isn’t it?
It’s tight.
Yeah.

Certainly, there are tight parking spaces and a tightly packed room.
As for a kitchen, you might use “tight” if it’s really small and you could not easily move around in it, but I think “small” would be more likely.

The agent, who should be trying to make the kitchen sound good, would probably not use a negative term like “tight”, but maybe “cozy” or “efficient”. My first thought was that he just said “right”.

Cramped is another good word.
Confined is another word but not as common as cramped.
