serviette
This term is primarily used in British, Canadian, and Australian English to describe a small napkin. In American English, the word napkin is used almost exclusively for both cloth and paper versions, whereas serviette specifically evokes a sense of a small, often disposable, square of absorbent material used during a meal.
Because it is a standard countable noun, it follows regular pluralization patterns. It is typically used in domestic or dining contexts, ranging from casual cafes to formal dinner settings, though the term itself can feel slightly more formal or specific than the generic napkin in certain dialects.
