a few = unos cuantos / algunos ?

I agree. "Tiene pocos amigos" would be "He has few friends" (not "a few friends").

the sentence has audio so I simply unlinked it from the English one. I don't know if the Japanese sentence matches.

I think it would be better to unlink the Japanese as well.

if you're sure it doesn't match, go ahead.

@Pfirsichbaeumchen

Does the Japanese mean "few friends" or "a few friends"?

The focus is on them having friends there at all, so "a few".

Danke, Lisa!
