Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Little"

A: It means they did not do much more. They only confirmed he was alive and did not do anything else (in this case they did not give more information about his experiences).

A: It means a variety of things that you aren't specifying. It can be used in different contexts but means basically that in all of them.

"What have you been up to?" "Oh, a little of this, a little of that." (Says you've been doing different things lately but perhaps nothing especially important or worthy of bringing up specifically. It may also be used if you don't feel like talking about what you've been doing recently or in an ironic way if you've been up to something very exciting)

"What's in this dinner you made?" "A little of this, a little of that." (A polite way of avoiding specifying the recipe for whatever reason)

A: Because "little" has negative connotations, saying "little" just emphasizes the sadness/pitiful nature of the sad person.

A: I think there should be a comma: "not really, only a little."

A: Well, in that case, it's saying that it is disappointing, but that saying "disappointing" can't describe it properly.

Ex.
"It's a little more than disappointing(it's not as simple as just being disappointed. "Disappointing" isn't strong enough to completely describe how you feel.)

If you say, "I'm a little more than thankful." It implies that you are thankful, but the word 'thankful' doesn't properly express your gratitude.
