English in 1 Minute, Less vs Fewer: What's the difference? English In A Minute

Less vs Fewer: What's the difference? English In A Minute

Hi, I'm Sam from BBC Learning English

and today we're going to look at the difference between

'less' and 'fewer' when comparing things.

It's actually very simple.

We use 'fewer' with countable nouns

and 'less' with uncountable nouns.

But even native speakers get this wrong,

so let's have a look at some examples.

I moved recently, and comparing my old area

to my new neighbourhood, I can say:

There are fewer restaurants and fewer cafes

and there is less traffic and less pollution.

Cafes and restaurants are countable nouns.

You can count them on your fingers

and you can make them plural, so we use 'fewer'.

Pollution and traffic are uncountable nouns.

You can't count them on your fingers

and you can't make them plural, so we use 'less'.

Hi, I'm Sam from BBC Learning English

and today we're going to look at the difference between ve bugün, aşağıdaki konular arasındaki farka bakacağız

'less' and 'fewer' when comparing things. "mniej" i "mniej" przy porównywaniu rzeczy. Bir şeyleri karşılaştırırken 'daha az' ve 'daha az'.

It's actually very simple. W rzeczywistości jest to bardzo proste. Aslında çok basit.

We use 'fewer' with countable nouns Sayılabilir isimlerle birlikte 'fewer' kullanırız

and 'less' with uncountable nouns.

But even native speakers get this wrong, Ale nawet native speakerzy się mylą, Ancak ana dili İngilizce olanlar bile bunu yanlış anlar,

so let's have a look at some examples. Przyjrzyjmy się więc kilku przykładom. Şimdi bazı örneklere bir göz atalım.

I moved recently, and comparing my old area Nedávno jsem se přestěhoval a porovnávám svou starou oblast Przeprowadziłem się niedawno i porównując mój stary obszar Yakın zamanda taşındım ve eski bölgemle karşılaştırdığımda

to my new neighbourhood, I can say: yeni mahalleme, diyebilirim:

There are fewer restaurants and fewer cafes Меньше ресторанов и меньше кафе Daha az restoran ve daha az kafe var

and there is less traffic and less pollution. меньше трафика и меньше загрязнения. ve daha az trafik ve daha az kirlilik var.

Cafes and restaurants are countable nouns. Kawiarnie i restauracje to rzeczowniki policzalne. Kafe ve restoranlar sayılabilir isimlerdir.

You can count them on your fingers Można je policzyć na palcach Onları parmaklarınızla sayabilirsiniz

and you can make them plural, so we use 'fewer'. i można zrobić z nich liczbę mnogą, więc używamy "mniej". ve onları çoğul yapabilirsiniz, bu yüzden 'daha az' kullanırız.

Pollution and traffic are uncountable nouns. Zanieczyszczenie i ruch drogowy to rzeczowniki niepoliczalne. Kirlilik ve trafik sayılamayan isimlerdir.

You can't count them on your fingers Nie można ich policzyć na palcach Onları parmaklarınla sayamazsın

and you can't make them plural, so we use 'less'.
