Contexto cultural
Villages in Iran are often famous for one specific product (e.g., pomegranate, saffron, or silk carpets). A 'روستای کوچک' might be the world center for a specific craft. In the north, villages are lush and green. People often use 'روستای کوچک' to refer to a place where they go to escape the heat of Tehran. Here, a 'روستای کوچک' is an oasis. The architecture is mud-brick (kāhgel) and designed to stay cool. Villages are often built into the sides of mountains. The roof of one house is the yard of the house above.
The 'Ye' Rule
Always add 'ye' after 'roosta' when an adjective follows. It's the most common mistake for beginners!
Hospitality
If you visit a small village, saying 'Dast-e shoma dard nakone' (Thank you) for tea is essential.

Indefinite form
To say 'A' small village, use 'روستای کوچکی' (roostā-ye koochak-i). The 'i' at the end makes it indefinite.
Don't say 'Saghir'
Never use 'saghir' for a village. It sounds like you're talking about an orphan village!
