### A little, too much, only

{{item:1122874}}

{{item:1122878}}

{{item:1122882}}

**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.

| | m. sg. | f. sg. | m. pl. | f. pl. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| much, many | mult | multă | **mulți** | multe |
| all, the whole | tot | toată | toți | toate |
| a few | — | — | câțiva | câteva |
| another, other | alt | altă | alți | alte |
| every | fiecare | fiecare | — | — |

{{item:1122895}}

### More, still — and needing

**Mai** before a verb means *more* or *still*; with **nu** it means *no longer*.

{{item:1122898}}

{{item:1122899}}

To say you need something, use **a avea nevoie de** — literally *to have need of*:
