My understanding is that "few" emphasizes the paucity of what there are, while "a few" emphasizes the fact that, hey, at least there are some. Consider the following cloze sentences: Which would you put in the first sentence and which would you put in the second sentence? 1. Mrs. Spiegzweiler was disappointed that {few, a few} of the students had cheated. 2. Mrs. Spiegzweiler was disappointed that {few, a few} of the students had passed the test. If you're a native English speaker, you put "a few" in the first sentence and "few" in the second. In Spanish, however, they're both *pocos*. How would those two sentences be rendered in tlhIngan Hol?
