Definition of plusieurs vs quelques
This question relates to:French lesson "Quelque/quelques vs Un peu de/peu de = A couple/a few vs a bit of/few (French Indefinite Adjectives)"
Asked 3 years ago
Hi Chris,
I don't think you could say that 'several' (plusieurs) and 'a few' ( quelques) are synonyms in either language.
You would use plusieurs to stress a good quantity of something and quelques for a small amount of something.
But that's semantics I suppose!

There's been ample previous discussion on that. Maybe look back a bit in the thread?
