A little, too much, only
| I want a little water. | Vreau puțină apă. |
| The coat is too expensive. | Haina este prea scumpă. |
| I only have ten lei. | Am doar zece lei. |
Puțin (a little) agrees like an adjective: puțină apă. Prea (too) and doar (only) never change.
All, every, a few, another
These words go BEFORE the noun. Tot keeps the noun's article; fiecare and alt take a noun without one.

More, still — and needing
Mai before a verb means more or still; with nu it means no longer.
| Do you want more coffee? | Mai vrei cafea? |
| I no longer work here. | Nu mai lucrez aici. |
To say you need something, use a avea nevoie de — literally to have need of:
| I need a pen. | Am nevoie de un pix. |
