The state or quality of being wee — tiny, small, diminutive. Used across Scotland, Ireland, northern England, and New Zealand, weeness captures smallness with a warmth that words like 'smallness' or 'tininess' simply lack. You might comment on the weeness of a newborn's fingers, a cramped flat, or an absurdly small portion at a fancy restaurant. It carries affection as much as description.
Everyone cooed over the weeness of the puppy, barely bigger than a teacup.
