Aug 1, 2019 · Brazil. Brazilian Portuguese. Aug 1, 2019. #1. Hi, guys! I know that "What a pain!" is often used figuratively to describe something annoying or boring.

Usually a reduction regarding an uncountable noun is expressed with the word less and a reduction regarding a countable noun is expressed by the word fewer.

Feb 28, 2020 · American English (New England and NYC) Dec 11, 2020. #9. "She is clearly in pain" is better than "she clearly feels some pain."
