一些 vs. 一点，提包，自动铅笔
Hey guys, I had some questions.

1) What is the difference between 一些 and 一点 in the following two sentences?
- 等下个月我手头松一些。
- 等下个月我手头松一点。

2) Which term do you prefer for a lady's "purse"?
包包，提包，手包，手提包 or another word..?

3) Is there a shorter word for a "mechanical pencil" (自动铅笔)? The reason why I'm asking is because I know in Chinese, many terms are shortened. For example, instead of saying 超级市场, most speakers will say 超市 in conversations.

Thank you!

Answer

1）In this context, the meaning is the same.
2）包包 can be used to describe all bags.
提包=手提包=Bag with short handle
手包=A bag slightly larger than the palm of your hand.It commonly used by women at parties.
书包=背包=for example，schoolbag，Mountaineering bag
3）自动铅笔 There is no abbreviation for this word.

Answer

1. It's the same meaning."一些“ and”一点“
2. "包包，提包，手包，手提包" all of these means purse，It depends on context which is better one.
3. "自动铅笔"has not good shorter word. Maybe “自动笔” but it‘s not precise.
