Used in comparisons meaning “less than”; often followed by a number, amount, or measure.
Means “a few” or “few” and emphasizes a small number of countable items.
Usually means “smaller” in degree, size, or intensity rather than directly referring to number.
A less common construction; it usually means “less of/from” and sounds less natural without a specific context.
More formal and descriptive; it emphasizes the smaller number or quantity, often in a comparison between two groups.
Literally “a smaller number”; suitable when talking about a figure or amount, but less natural as a direct substitute for “weniger.”
A simple, conversational expression meaning “not so many”; it often sounds softer and more everyday than the neutral “weniger.”
