Hypotonic solution.
The root "hypo" means "less", so since the solution has less solutes it takes the name hypotonic.
hypotonic solution
A Dilute solution.
This is a hypotonic solution.
This solution is called hypotonic.

A very dilute solution
A solution that has only a little solute is called a dilute solution. In a dilute solution, the concentration of the solute is low compared to the solvent. The amount of solute in the solution is relatively small.
A dilute solution is a solution in which there is a small amount of solute (the thing that gets dissolved) compared to the total amount of possible solute that can be dissolved in the solvent (the thing that does the dissolving). A concentrated solution is when there is a lot or all solute that can possibly fit in the solvent.
A solution contains two things. A solute (the thing which is dissolved) and the solvent (the thing it's dissolved into). For example to make salt-water, you dissolve the solute (salt) into the solvent (water). A concentrated solution has a lot of solute, compared to the amount of solvent. There are two ways to concentrate a solution. 1) adding more solute. 2) removing some of the solvent (usually through evaporation). A dilute solution is the opposite, it has very little solute in there. The two ways of diluting a solution are; 1) adding more solvent. 2) removing some of the solute. Most solutions have a point of saturation, where the maximum amount of solute has been added. This is the maximum concentration of the solution.
(I may not be spot-on, I'm not quite a Science major.) A solution is a mixture of a liquid and one or more solids that have dissolved in the liquid and is inseparable. A suspension involves a solid and liquid; but the solids have not dissolved and are spread throughout the liquid or have settled at the bottom and have dissolved very little, or have not dissolved.
A weak solution has only a little solute dissolved in a solvent.
A weak solution has only a little solute dissolved in a solvent.
Saline solution
A very dilute solution
A solution that has only a little solute is called a dilute solution. In a dilute solution, the concentration of the solute is low compared to the solvent. The amount of solute in the solution is relatively small.
Dilute solution, a mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent. Concentrated solution-one that has a lot of solute dissolved in the solvent.
If the solute isn't very soluble, the solution can be saturated and still have very little solute in it, so it would be dilute.

In a solution the solute is dissolved meaning it has undergone a chemical change and is now in ion form while in a suspension the solute is exactly the same only in little floating bits.

A solution with lots of solvent and only a little solute is said to be a very weak or very dilute solution. This solution will have a very low concentration of the soluble substance within the solvent. It's just that simple, but we need to add a footnote of sorts. It should be understood that this may or may not have anything to do with the solubility of the solute. Let's look at that so you are prepared for more advanced concepts. If only a little bit of a substance can be dissolved or will dissolve in a solvent, it may be close to saturation though there is only a small amount of a substance actually dissolved in the solvent. When investigating this area of chemistry, this will make more sense when looking deeper into the issues with solvents, solutes and solutions.
