Help to understand the difference between

Hi everyone and thank you for read my post.

I have couple of question about the difference between some words and them are:

  • 少し vs 少ない
  • 少ない vs 不足
  • 代わる vs 代用

Thanks for your time.

@jprspereira This seems like your area of expertise.

Working from my phone, but hopefully this helps a little bit.

Oh I see, adverb and adjective sometimes confused at least to me, I will keep in mind when learn new vocab if the new word is an adverb or adjective the next time.
