It sounds like you’re sharing a fragment about size, perhaps a riddle or a brief cryptic clue: “i should be when small.” Without more context, here are a few ways this could be interpreted, along with quick explanations:
- If you’re thinking in grammar or spelling: the pronoun “I” is always capitalized, regardless of size in typing. So “I should be capitalized when small” could be the idea.
- If this is about math or variables: a variable often denotes a quantity that can be small; “i” is commonly used as an index or imaginary unit, though the lowercase “i” is standard in math unless you’re indicating a specific condition where it should be uppercase.
- If it’s a word puzzle or crossword clue: “What should I be when small?” could aim for a word meaning “small” that’s typically written with a lowercase i, or a play on capitalization rules.
If you can share a bit more context (is this a riddle, a writing prompt, a language rule, or something else?), it will be possible to give a precise answer or solution.
