Memorigas min de trafikcirklo kiu mi unu foje trovis en Francio. Ni veturis ĉirkaŭ la afero tri foje, kaj neniam vidis elirejon.
Mia amiko parolis la italan al la franca policano.
Ĉu oni ludas «Karcerojn kaj drakojn»?
Vi eniras ĉambron, estas pluraj enirejoj. Tra unu venas…
I'm french, so I'm not sure of the subtility here. I found this elsewhere: “Several” is used to mean more than “some” but less than “many.” Is it what you mean?
As an American, I use:
- few - 3-5
- several - 5-7
- some - less than many (depends on what's being counted)
- many - more than all of the above
I'm not an authority or anything, but that's roughly what the usage seems to be. I don't know what the Esperanto equivalents would be. It seems terms for multiples are somewhat cultural.
If I may assay this issue. Again experienced, but not professional level. The list above is a good place to work from:
A couple = unu-du (usually 2 of something)
Few = Malmultaj, kelkaj
Several = pluraj
Some = (referencing an amount of unspecified items) iom (kaj kelkaj aliaj vortoj)
Many = multaj
The same concepts in other languages might also fit these categories but I wouldn't worry if French or Chinese has differing divisions. Just use this as a guide and not the Rosetta Stone.
