Poco

La palabra de hoy es: 'poco' = little (for example, a small quantity of something not counted nor measured!). When used as an adjective in plural (i.e. when referring to a number of things which can be counted, but are not actually counted!), it means few. As an adjective the word takes the four possible forms of most adjectives: 'poco'/ 'poca'/ 'pocos'/ 'pocas'
 
Ejemplos:
  • En verano, llueve muy poco (In the summer, it rains very little)
  • Poco a poco (little by little)
  • Hay poca gente en este sitio (There are few people here)
  • Quería un poco de agua (Could I have a little bit of water)
  • En invierno hay pocos día festivos (There are few bank holidays in winter)

Poca gente sale los domingos para tomar algo si tiene que trabajar el dia siquiente.

observación interesante... me imagino que tener que trabajar al día siguiente contribuye a que no haya muchas ganas de salir...
