@sdgsdg Please note corrections I have made. ;)
 
Yes.
If you live in a city, say city.
If you live in a town, say town.
If you live in a village, say village.
If you live in a kibbutz, say kibbutz.

A city is bigger than a town, which in turn is bigger than a village.

A village would have no more than a couple of thousand people, and towns up to ten or twenty thousand. Beyond that we usually call them cities.

Could a town be a small?
I live in a small town.
 
If the town could be small and town could be small, how could you can distinguish between them.
 
Sorry,
I meant city and town.
 
Do you know how to use the edit feature?

The dividing line between "town" and "city" is not a sharp one, but it has to do with the number of people who live there.
 
In Arabic language, there is no different between the two words.
towns could be small or large than another one, otherwise they are villages.
