Interestingly this is also somehow the case with Polish.
The word for "moment" is "chwila".
When someone will come in a "chwila", it means that this will happen in some time between, say, 15 min and an hour.
"chwilka" is a diminutive which shortens the distance with the speaker and usually means "chwila" if not longer. It also implies that you ce some kind of esteem to the speaker (not much, it is above the "fuck off" esteem).
Then comes "chwileczka", diminutive of "chwilka". It is usually a shorter "chwilka" , with its mark of esteem.
This may heavily vary between regions, though.
