Now: weinig: little / few

overal waar je many kunt gebruiken (telbaar, meervoud) gebruik je few.

e.g. There are few visitors in the museum, why ?

         Few scientists believe the covid virus will disappear soon.

overal waar je much kunt gebruiken (ontelbaar, geen meervoudsvorm) gebruik je little.

e.g. There is little time left, hurry !

        People have little hope that there will be any survivors.

Mind you and compare: Big difference !

a little (= een beetje) = positive

There is a little sugar left. (een beetje over)

i.t.t. little sugar left = weinig suiker over = negative

a few ( = een paar) = positive

There were a few people who could help me (een paar mensen)

i.t.t. few people = weinig mensen die konden helpen
