Не said he had quite a few friends there. — Он сказал, что у него мало друзей там. Do you have any questions? — Oh, yes quite a few. — У Вас есть вопросы? — О, да, несколько.
    3. couple — несколько, немного, неопределенное количеThere were a couple of dancing pairs in the hall. — В зале было несколько танцующих пар. I saw him a couple of days ago. — Я его видел пару дней тому назад./Я его видел несколько дней тому назад. Не is away at the moment, but we expect him in a couple of hours. — Его сейчас нет, но мы ждем его через два-три часа./Его сейчас нет, но мы ждем его через некоторое время.
    4. some — несколько ( обычно не переводится): 1 have some books in Polish, but not many. — У меня есть книги (несколько) на польском языке, но немного.
