O que é inglês e o que é português na sua pergunta? Acho que você deve elaborar algumas frases que demonstrem o problema. Facilitaria a resposta.
Hi Rainsmew!
1º A little, a bit and a little bit are often used as adverbs in colloquial British English with little or no difference in meaning. Compare the following:
You're driving too fast. Could you please drive a little (bit) more slowly?
It was a long journey and I was feeling a bit / a little (bit) tired.
Bit can also combine with of before nouns to suggest a limited amount of something. Compare the following:
Let me give you a bit of advice. Don't drive so fast in built-up areas.
I'm not very hungry after the journey. I'll just have a bit of bread and cheese.
I've got a bit of a problem. The car has overheated, so we'll have to wait for it to cool down
2º You can use "such" with an uncountable noun (and adjective) or with a plural countable noun (and adjective). You can use 'such a' or 'such an' with a singular countable noun (and adjective):
Such ideas are hard to understand.
It was such a long journey that it took a day to get over it.
