Not sure what you mean by "usually". English people use a few or a little just like they use water or you. They use it when that is what they want to say, and they don't use it when it is not. Whether it's a question or not, is a red herring. Can you please explain why you think that this being a question influences the word choice, and how it would be different if this weren't a question? Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "usually". English people use a few or a little just like they use water or you. They use it when that is what they want to say, and they don't use it when it is not. Whether it's a question or not, is a red herring. Can you please explain why you think that this being a question influences the word choice, and how it would be different if this weren't a question? Thanks.
