Generally it means a ‘small problem’
“We had a wee problem when we ran out of clean spoons.”
{Modernly, the word ‘wee’ has also been used to mean ‘going pee’ — so the phrase ‘wee problem’ should be considered in context.}
Awesome advice Christina! Yes context is important for the word ‘wee’
‘Take a wee’ or ‘go for a wee’ or ‘need to do a wee’, all mean go to the toilet to pee.
The use of the word ‘wee’ = “small” is coming orginally from Scotland.
You can also say ‘A wee boy’ = ‘A small boy’ or ‘A wee bit late’ = ‘A little late’!
I hope the word ‘wee’ is not a wee bit confusing!
