Being a native Dutch person and using English a lot, I see some weird differences in these languages. In Dutch we have a weird (but nice) construct that we can make something smaller by using a postfix "tje". So in Dutch we can express "a small house" as "een klein huis" or "huisje" but it is also allowed to combine it as "een klein huisje". All are correct but have different nuances. You can not translate this into English. English does have several words for houses; like cottage that also convey other emotions linked to the word house but we have a broader spectrum of expressing emotion, in my humble opinion.
