La-ptite-fille

Bonjour, ummmmm I hope I just said Hello in French.
I don't speak French but I know a few words.
I am hoping to be your friend oneday.

Yeah, it usually spells "petite", but "ptite" is a contracted form

If your username stands for 'little girl' or 'the little girl' then isn't little in French spelt like petit(e) not ptite?
