How do I write the small つ on a western keyboard?
I can't figure out how to write the small hiragana and katakana on my keyboard. For example, I was trying to write パーテイー, but I have no idea how to make the イ small. Can someone help me? I'm using a PC.

There are several ways of writing.
I write パーティー with "pa-thi-", we have the sound with the normal letter and the small letter together.
Ex.) きゃ、きゅ、きょ(kya, kyu, kyo) ウィ、ウェ、ウォ(whi, whe, who), ティ(thi)、ディ(dhi)
You can write only the small letters with "l" of little and "a, i, u, e, o, ya, yu, yo".
ぁ、ぃ、ぅ、ぇ、ぉ、ゃ、ゅ、ょ(la, li, lu, le, lo, lya, lyu, lyo)
To write small っ, please type double "tt" or every other consonant, then you get rid off the last consonant if you don't need.
Ex.) かった(katta), インターネット(inta-netto), うわっ(uwatt then get of the last "t")
I hope this helps you.
