weinig

Weinig is a Dutch word meaning "few" or "little." It functions as a determiner or adjective to indicate a small amount or limited extent. It can accompany both countable and uncountable nouns: for example, "weinig tijd" (little time) or "weinig mensen" (few people). The phrase "er is weinig tijd" expresses a small amount of time, and noen nuance of restraint or scarcity is often implied.

In grammar, weinig can appear before a noun, but it can also be used predicatively in clauses such as "Er is weinig geld" or "Weinig is bekend over het project," although predicative use is less common in everyday speech. It contrasts with veel, which means "much" or "many," and with meer or minder in varying degrees of quantity or intensity.

Weinig is also the name of a German company that manufactures woodworking machinery. The company, typically written WEINIG, is known for equipment such as moulders, planers, sanding lines, and edge-banding systems, serving customers in the wood-processing industry worldwide. The WEINIG brand emphasizes precision engineering and broad product coverage for professional woodworking applications.
