FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang hindi tiyak ngunit maliit na bilang o dami.
EN: Some; a few.
When you don't have an exact number, you use **ilang**. '**Ilang** minuto na lang' (Just a few more minutes) is the classic Filipino response when you're running late. It's the vague quantifier for 'not many, but more than one.'
Used as a determiner before a noun. The stress on the second syllable /i-LANG/ distinguishes it from 'Ílang' /I-lang/ (wilderness).
