Date: April 29th, 2026 12:45 AM Author: Light comical candlestick maker For me it's: - a couple = 2-3 - a few = 3-6 - several = 6+ but usually like 6-20 |
Date: April 29th, 2026 12:49 AM Author: greedy forum degenerate wrt beer(s) "a few" is 6+ deep actually probably more than that |

Date: April 29th, 2026 1:12 AM Author: greedy forum degenerate it's always "a few" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850359) |

Date: April 29th, 2026 1:02 AM Author: Bespoke trip water buffalo I can go as low as 3 for "several" but other than that I share your assessment (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850341) |
|
Date: April 29th, 2026 1:02 AM Author: fragrant peach mad cow disease masturbator "a couple" = 2
"a few" = 3
"several" = 4-7
"quite a few" = 8-11
"a dozen" = 12
"many" = 13+ |
|
Date: April 29th, 2026 1:04 AM Author: Brindle double fault rehab yeah this is what I thought too. well the closest I have seen itt. idk about many being 13+ I think I use that for less. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850345) |
|
Date: April 29th, 2026 1:16 AM Author: fragrant peach mad cow disease masturbator would you prefer
"scads of" = 13+
-or-
"lots of" = 13+ |

Date: April 29th, 2026 1:33 AM Author: Brindle double fault rehab well its not that I have an issue with "many" its that I just didn't realize many had to be that many. I think I would say many for like 6, but its context dependent. To me a couple is clearly 2, and a few is 3 and a dozen is 12 but most of these other ones are just winged and heavily depend on the actual context. You might say "many raccoons" if you see like 7 of them, but 7 dollars isn't that many (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850395) |
|
Date: April 29th, 2026 2:05 AM Author: fragrant peach mad cow disease masturbator here's how I do it: 1. one 2. a couple 3. a few 4(a) several = 4-7 4(b) a few more = +3 4(c) several more = +4..7
so 8 = several + several more or several + a couple more or a couple + several more

Date: April 29th, 2026 2:07 AM Author: Light comical candlestick maker "Many" is incredibly context-relevant to me. I'd use it for 2, I'd use it for 900K. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850431) |
|
Date: April 29th, 2026 1:30 AM Author: Offensive cruise ship macaca This is correct, except "quite a few" overlaps with the range of several, and is typically context dependent. Like if we say "quite a few people overstate their charitable contributions," we mean it in terms of millions. Same with "many."

Date: April 29th, 2026 1:06 AM Author: Brindle double fault rehab Have never heard anyone use "a couple" for anything other than 2 before (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850351) |

Date: April 29th, 2026 1:17 AM Author: fragrant peach mad cow disease masturbator I have heard people say "a throuple of" when they meant 3 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861518&forum_id=2),#49850372) |

Date: April 29th, 2026 1:28 AM Author: self-centered hall clown A couple is always two with the caveat that it could have possibly been three but not much more
A few is the same as a couple but you're lying to make it sound larger
Several is definitely just once but you're really fibbing at this point
For everything else there's many, which goes up to a million at which point you have to use the number of digits in the figure at a minimum |
