What does the expression "in some ways" exactly mean, as in
The English language is limited in some ways, and perhaps most limited in its ability to express love.
Is it generic (like in many ways) or specific (like in a few ways)? Can you give an example of an equivalent expression?

I have to disagree with the answers above; often, and definitely in the above example, the phrase has a literal meaning, namely that the English language is limited in this way (expressing love), and in other ways (perhaps in swearing), but generally it is useful and flexible. 'In some way', on the other hand, would mean it is limited in one way, unspecified and perhaps unknown.
