Of course! "Little" generally suggests a negative meaning, implying not enough. For instance, "I have little money" means I don't have enough money. On the other hand, "a little" is more positive, suggesting you do have some. For example, "I have a little money" means I have some money, maybe not a lot, but enough. Isn't language fascinating?
