الفرق بين few, a few_____little, a little

[Mr.Ahmed EL-hady]

Little is used with uncountable and few is used with countable nouns. When we use few and little without the indefinite article, they usually have a negative meaning, but when we use them with the indefinite article, a little or a few, they have a more positive meaning. Compare the following:

• I have few friends in England and I feel quite lonely.
• I have a few friends in England, so I don't miss home so much.
• I have little money. I can't buy this shirt.
• I have a little juice in the fridge. Would you like some?

:

• He has little money. > He needs more money, it's not enough
• She has alittle money > it's enough

يعنى ايه...

اولا :

, afew,Few>>>>> مع المعدود

Alittle,little >>>>>مع الغير معدود

afew تكون فى جمله ايجابيه يعنى معايا حاجه قليله بس تكفى
I have afew friends in England مش كتير بس كويسين وانا مش حاسس بالوحده ده موقفpositive ايجابى

I have few friends in England تقريبا معنديش اصحاب.. وحاسس بالوحده.... ده موقفnegativeسلبي
alittle زى afew بالظبط بس مع الغير معدود
Little زى few بالظبط بس مع الغير معدود


لو معايا شئ معدود قليل بس يكفى استخدم afew
ولو ميكفيش استخدم few
ولو غير معدود ويكفى استخدم alittle He has a little money معاه فلوس قليله بس كفايه
ولو ميكفيش استخدم little He has little money بس هو عايز فلوس تانى اللى معاه مش كفايه

يعنى لو المعنى ايجابى .. استخدم اللى فيها a
ولو سلبى استخدم اللى ما فيهاش a
