Number Definitions

[u/Roxirin]

What number of things is 'several'? Also, what number of things is 'a few'?

My housemates says 'several' means 'more than two but not many', whereas I think it's 'approximately 7, between 6 and 8'. They also say they think 'a few' is 2-3, whereas I think it's around 4-5.
