That's right, basicly. BUT:
How do you explain the fact that the same address showed as 12 different inputs?
I can see only 4 different addresses in this transaction, and yet 17 inputs Huh

https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/input
Inputs are basically transactions, not addresses. They are references to the previous outputs where the used bitcoins came from.
Click the "Output" links beside the inputs and it'll take you to the referenced transaction.

Edit:
So...

I understand how it goes now but one thing i dont understand. I have seen on my transaction that i made lots of imputs from the same bitcoin adress. I thought one adress can count only once per imput , isnt like that?

No, it's not like that.

Transaction size doesn't increase with the amount of bitcoins you're trying to send, but with the number of inputs and outputs. Your transaction have 17 inputs and 1 output so it's bigger than normal transactions with only one or two input and a single output.

What means 1 imput? Please help me because i dont understand . How i calculate 1imput and 1 output.
How my transaction has 17 imputs?

Blockchain.info shows your input and outputs by addresses instead of the actual ones. When you see the advanced information[1], you will see that many inputs were spent for the transaction. The higher the number of inputs and outputs, the larger your transaction will be.

There's no way to reduce the number of inputs unless you consolidate all of them by spending all of them in a transaction that goes back to your address.

Hello, i dont understand why this transaction https://blockchain.info/ro/tx/67a4f468eaef1e81b9a061ee8f3cfd236c3e2ec02e9072898068421ab58d89fb has so much bytes . I have seen transaction of 0.01btc with 250 bytes and my transaction is 5 times lower and it has x10 more bytes. I dont understand how dimension is calculated
