English term or phrase: little one
My father is serbian. He use to always call my son something in serbian as a small child. When asked he said it was an affectionate term meaning "little one". He is no longer available to ask. As a beloved memory, I would like to know what the serbian word or phrase was he spoke.

Explanation:
I'm sure there are other names, I just can't remember right now, my father calls his grandkids (my kids) dozens of names...
