Hola Emanuel

The difference between them is pretty much the same difference between the English: "some" (generally translated as unos or algunos) and "a few/several" (generally translated as unos cuantos/ varios).

They are very similar in their meaning.

« should it be cabezoto instead of cabezota in the first sentence? Conjugate "decir" in the Pretérito Perfecto. »
