Little, A Little, Few, A Few (Nouns Quantifiers)



Penggunaan few, a few, little dan a little kadangkala membingungkan.  a few, few, little dan a little adalah Noun Quantifiers atau penjumlah kata benda. Semuanya berarti beberapa (tidak terlalu banyak/sedikit). Perbedaan penggunaan diantara Noun Quantifiers di atas bisa dilihat pada contoh-contoh berikut:

They can have little money to spend. That's why they sometimes complain ..
They can have a liitle money to spend. Though they're not too much, at least, they feel relieved ...

Bagaimana pendapat Anda memperbandingkan kedua kalimat di atas? Ya, penggunaan a little lebih bersifat positif, sebaliknya penggunaan little bersifat negatif.

Only few people I have met are good ones ...
I think there are only  a few of them are nice ...

Sama dengan kedua contoh kalimat sebelumnya, kedua contoh kalimat berikutnya memiliki perbedaan pada pengertian negatif dan positif. Jadi ingat saja, bila menggunakan article: a, maka pengertiannya adalah positif. Selain itu, baik few dan a few bisa digunakan untuk benda yang bisa dihitung (Countable Nouns) maupun yang tak bisa dihitung (Uncountable Nouns). Sedangkan little dan a little digunakan untuk benda yang tak bisa dihitung (Uncountable Nouns). Sederhana sekali, bukan? :)
