I have few concerns vs I have few

The correct phrase to use is "I have a few concerns." The phrase "I have few" isn't correct in this context. The addition of the article 'a' before 'few' changes the meaning to indicate there are some concerns, while without it, the phrase is incomplete and unclear.
