In life, we don't get many! (3)
I believe the answer is:
few
'many' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in life we don't' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'FEW' is hidden in the letters of 'life we dont'.
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for few that I've seen before include "Indefinite but small number" , "Only one or two" , "Considerable number, ironically" , "Indefinite small amount" , "Not many, just a handful" .)
