EN: few; little; a small amount
The default setting for Pinoy humility. 'Kumain ka na?' 'Oo, kaunti lang.' (Even if they ate a whole casserole). It's also the state of your bank account before payday. The opposite of 'marami'. Often heard as 'konti'.
Pinaniniwalaang nagmula sa salitang Espanyol na 'cuanto' (gaano karami), ngunit may mga teoryang nagmumungkahi rin ng katutubong pinagmulan nito sa mga wikang Austronesian.
Frequently shortened to 'konti' in casual conversation and text messages.
