What is meant by 'smidgen'?

Question

For example:-
She speaks 'smidgen' English.

Answer 1

That would be pidgen English, which is a primitive form of the language. "Smidgen" means a tiny bit, but of a physical substance, not of something like a language. You could say,
"l'll have just a smidgen more ice cream, please!".

Answer 2

'Smidgen' means a small amount, like an 'iota'. So, what should really be said is 'She speaks a 'smidgen' of English.'
If the question was originally about what 'smidgen' meant in the context of the example, then perhaps the speaker meant 'pidgeon', as an above answer mentioned. 'Pidgeon' is used to refer to a 'form' of English which is incomplete. 'Pidgeon' English contains a lot of words in the native speaker's language, with some English injected here or there.
Using 'smidgen' in that context does make some sense, since it's like saying she speaks 'a little' English.

Answer 3

just a little bit...

you can tell by the quote "i speak a smidgen english"

it should be "I speak a smidgen of english"

Answer 4

It should be 'a smidgen of' English

Answer 5

"Smidgen" means a small quantity of something, as in "She put a smidgen of butter on her popcorn."

Answer 6

I'd assume a very small amount
