@noiob Ist das nicht das gleiche Konzept wie "ein paar" vs. "ein Paar"?
@puf @elomatreb ein paar is a handful, ein Paar is a couple as in two people, or a matching pair of things
@puf @elomatreb Germans pronounce uppercase letters as screaming, it's a bit unsettling at first /jk
@noiob @elomatreb
one way to make it clear i guess
@noiob @elomatreb ooooooh it's the same root as "a pair" most likely.... i.e. two things, often similar or matching. yeah. "a pair" / "a couple" mean slightly different things but it's essentially two of a thing. "a few" means three or more. HOWEVER native speakers don't always use the terms to mean exactly what i say above.
@puf @elomatreb yeah, English has a bunch of words that are kinda the same because one's from French and one's from German
@noiob @elomatreb ah! okay. i translate "ein paar" to mean "a few" but i wasn't aware of another form... surely they sound the same in speech?
