couple of weeks means two weeks ?
Yes, thatâs right.
Hi ! =))
The exact answer is, NOT exactly! =))) This is the reason she used âa couple of weeksâ instead of just saying âtwo weeksâ ! =)))
She does not know exactly if itâs a bit more than two weeks or a bit less, she doesnât have to be very specific thatâs why she said âin the last couple of weeksâ instead of the exact âin the last two weeksâ, but looks like even the native speakers of English do not always feel this subtle difference!
âCouple,â of course, means 2. When I say âa couple of weeksâ I mean âabout two.â If I am being held to strict account about exactly how long it has been, e.g. since a bank deposit, I would say âtwo weeks.â If I say âa few weeks,â it implies 2 or 3, though I think some people think âa couple of weeksâ and âa few weeksâ are equivalent. This is my experience. However I donât know whether different countries/regions use these expressions differently
Thanks. I got it.
