Quantifiter-quantifier ini digunakan untuk menunjukkan sedikitnya jumlah sesuatu, misalnya “I have a few books” berarti Saya mempunyai sedikit buku.
A Few A few digunakan bersama kata benda yang dapat dihitung (countable) untuk menunjukkan kuantitas yang sedikit. A few juga digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif, tetapi tidak pada kalimat negatif. Kita umumnya menggunakan any untuk kalimat tanya. Contoh:
- I have a few books
- I don’t have
a fewbooks (ini tidak benar). - I don’t have any books (ini benar)
- Do you have a few books?
Few
Ada perbedaan penting antara a few dan few. Few tanpa a digunakan dengan maksud bahwa kita memiliki sesuatu dalam jumlah yang tidak cukup. Milsanya:
- She has few apples in refrigerator. (Dia tidak memiliki cukup apel)
- She has a few apples apples in refrigerator. (Apel yang dimiliki jumlahnya sedikit)
- A few friends came to my party. This is a positive idea. I’m happy a few people came. (Sedikit teman yang datang ke acaraku. Ini hal yang positif. Saya senang karena sedikit yang datang)
- Few friends came to my party. This is a negative idea. I’m not happy because not many people came. (Tidak banyak yang datang ke acaraku. Ini hal yang negatif. Saya tidak senang karena tidak banyak yang datang)
Perhatikan bagaimana “a few” berfokus pada berapa banyak orang yang datang, tetapi “few” berfokus pada berapa banyak orang yang tidak datang.
Ringkasnya, A few berarti jumlah yang sedikit dan few berarti jumlah yang tidak banyak.A Little
A little digunakan bersama dengan kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable) untuk menunjukkan jumlah yang sedikit. Lagi, a little umumnya digunakan dalam pernyataan afirmatif, bukan dalam kalimat negatif atau bertanya. Contoh:
- I have a little orange juice.
- I don’t have
a littleorange juice (ini tidak benar) - I don’t have any orange juice (ini benar)
- Do you have
a littleorange juice?
Little
Seperti dengan few, ada perbedaan antara a little dan little. Little tanpa a digunakan dengan maksud bahwa kita tidak memiliki sesuatu dalam jumlah yang cukup. Contoh:
- She has little for breakfast. (Dia tidak makan cukup untuk sarapan)
- She has a little for breakfast. (Dia makan sedikit makanan untuk sarapan).
1) How’s your job going?
It’s great, now I save a little money every month.
That’s great. These days I can save little money, my apartment is expensive.

2) Are there any bookstores near here?
Not really, there are few bookstores near here.
So how do I buy books?

Thanks, that sounds great.
3) Do you like coffee?
No, I drink little coffee, it doesn’t taste very good.
