Concise Oxford Paravia Italian Dictionary © 2009 Pearson Paravia Bruno Mondadori spa e Oxford University Press:
few /fjuː/ (compar. fewer; superl. fewest) When few is used as a quantifier to indicate the smallness or insufficiency of a given number or quantity (few horses, few shops, few people), it is translated by pochi + masculine nouns and poche + feminine nouns: pochi cavalli, pochi negozi, poche persone. Equally the few is translated by i pochi / le poche: the few people who knew her = le poche persone che la conoscevano. For examples and particular usages, see I.1 in the entry below. - When few is used as a quantifier in certain expressions to mean several, translations vary according to the expression: see I.2 in the entry below. - When a few is used as a quantifier (a few books), it can often be translated by qualche, which is invariable and is always followed by the singular: qualche libro;
however, for expressions such as quite a few books, a good few books, see I.3 in the entry below. - For translations of few used as a pronoun (few of us succeeded, I only need a few), see II in the entry below. - For translations of the few used as a noun (the few who voted for him), see III in the entry below.
