Usage notes
Few is used with plural nouns only; its synonymous counterpart little is used with uncountable nouns.
Although indefinite in nature, a few is usually more than two (two often being referred to as "a couple of"), and less than "several". If the sample population is say between 5 and 20, a few would mean three or four, but no more than this. However, if the population sample size were in the millions, a few could refer to several hundred items. In other words, few in this context means a very very small percentage but far more than the 3 or 4 usually ascribed to it in its use with much much smaller numbers.
Few is grammatically affirmative but semantically negative, and it can license negative polarity items. For example, anything usually cannot be used in affirmative sentences, but can be used in sentences with few.
He didn't do anything to help us.
*He did anything to help us. (ungrammatical)
Few people did anything to help us.
*A few people did anything to help us. (ungrammatical, since a few is a different unit of meaning from few and does not license NPIs)
Few alone emphasises smallness of number, while a few emphasises some. For example: He's a dull man with few ideas; He's a clever man with a few ideas.
