Learn how to say "a few" in Spanish
In Spanish, to express "a few" we can use "unos cuantos/unas cuantas".
This is always used in the plural form, as it always refers to more than one [something]. It can refer to things or people.
Let's see some examples:
Voy a salir tarde porque tengo que hacer unas cuantas llamadas urgentes.I am going to leave late because I need to make a few urgent calls.
Notice how unos cuantos and unas cuantas need to agree with the noun they refer to.
