Can I say for the glass in the middle: "too few water" instead of "not enough water"? Are they equivalent in meaning?

Best Answer

"few" is used with a countable noun: "There are too few apples in the box". This is equivalent to "not enough apples".

"Water" is not countable, so you cannot say "too few water".

You could use "little": There is too little water in the glass". This is equivalent to "not enough"
