Yes, because the loose words have that exact meaning. The Dutch verb "vertroetelen" means to take loving care of (and spoil a bit). And when we want to say 'little' we can use the word 'klein' but also put 'je' or 'tje' at the end of a noun. So: beer - beertje or beren - beertjes (second one is bears, and kind of irregular so not a really good example lol). I hope that's clearing because it's pretty hard to explain.
