The Vietnamese word 'ít' is often used to indicate a small quantity or measure of something. Depending on the context, 'ít' may translate in English as either 'little' or 'few'. It is helpful to distinguish between 'ít' and other Vietnamese words indicating quantity such as 'nhiều' (much/many), 'một ít' (a little), or 'rất ít' (very little/few).
