* Translucent: This is the most general term for an object that allows some light to pass through but not enough to see clearly through it. Examples include frosted glass, tracing paper, and thin fabrics.
* Semi-transparent: Similar to translucent, but sometimes implies that the light passing through is somewhat diffused, making it harder to see clearly.
* Opaque: This term describes an object that blocks all light from passing through. While not specifically about "a little bit," it's helpful for understanding the opposite of translucent or semi-transparent.
* Dim: This describes a light source that produces a low amount of light, even if the object itself is transparent.
The best term depends on the specific situation and the intended meaning.
