Use of intensifiers?

Stuart M.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Hola,

Could we say something like ‘qué menos poco’, etc, to emphasise to an even greater extent the very little of the action/ verb that is going on?

Gracias,

Hola Stuart,

no, we can't intensify it adding "menos" to the structure. What you may hear sometimes is phrases like this:

¡Qué poquísimo sales! Eres un ermitaño.

You really don't go out much at all! You are like a hermit.
