    Does 'quite a few' means in fact 'many' or at least 'some' or 'few' means indeed 'few'?
    To me (American English speaker) "quite a few" is more than "few" but less than "many".

    I agree... I would say this when my child has or hasn't done something a number of times, but not enough that I would say, always.
    I only speak two languages, English and bad English.
