I have 'Little' students in my class...kol wahid hawalee 6 cm!

Hi to all my 'little' students.....

Most students know that 'many' is for countable nouns...many students, many chairs, many tables, etc... and that 'much' is for non-countable nouns...much money, much water, much noise, etc....

Bas sometimes, they get confused with other quantative adjectives ba3d many and much.

Lou ana oult 'There are little students in the class' ma3nit'ha in hagmohom (their size) is actually small or little. 3ashan 'little' is used for non-countable nouns, mish countable nouns.

So, what do you say if you want to say that you don't have many students in the class? You would say: 'I have few students in the class' (ya3nee 3adad el nas olayela). Because 'few' is used for countable nouns.

Now, you have to know inhee kalimat lil countable wa inhee lil non-countable wa inhee li both, so you don't make a mistake like 'little students' ili te3tabar ghalta kibeeeeeeera!

Countable Nouns: many, few, a few, several (kaza), a number of

Non-Countable Nouns: much, little, a little, a great deal of

Both: some, lots of, a lot of, plenty of, (kiteer min), any, hardly any, enough, (kafee)

Note: Many and much are usually used for NEGATIVE sentences and/or questions:
Were there many people at the party?
I don't have much money. (3adatan man'oulsh...I have much money...ben'oul...I have a lot of money).
