I have only a few money left with me vs I only have a little money with me

Both phrases are trying to express the idea that there's a small amount of money remaining. However, the second phrase 'I only have a little money with me' is the correct one and is the more commonly used expression in English. The first phrase has a few issues with word choice and word order.

I have only a few money left with me

This phrase is not correct in English. 'Few' is used with countable nouns, so it should be 'a few dollars' instead of 'a few money.'

Instead of 'a few money,' you should use 'a little money' or 'a few dollars' to correctly convey the idea of a small amount of money.

Alternatives:

  • I only have a little money with me
  • I have only a few dollars left with me

I only have a little money with me

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to indicate a small amount of money remaining.

This phrase is the correct way to express that you have a small amount of money. 'Little' is used with uncountable nouns like 'money.'
