How "few" becomes "go easy on the chili"

Where the picture shows up in 少

1. 1

   numbers taken away

   今天来的人很少。

   jīn tiān lái de rén hěn shǎo.

   Not many people came today.

   Rows of chairs with only a few of them occupied

2. 2

   doing less of an action

   请少放一点辣，谢谢。

   qǐng shǎo fàng yì diǎn là, xiè xie.

   Go easy on the chili, please.

   A spoon of chili flakes, half of it tipped back into the jar

3. 3

   short of the full count

   这个月我少上了两天班。

   zhè ge yuè wǒ shǎo shàng le liǎng tiān bān.

   I worked two days fewer this month.

   A row of clock-in stamps on a calendar with two squares left blank

4. 4

   occasions become rare

   最近我很少加班。

   zuì jìn wǒ hěn shǎo jiā bān.

   I hardly work overtime these days.

   A month of calendar squares with only one or two marks on it

5. 5

   short of what fills it

   钱还少一百块。

   qián hái shǎo yì bǎi kuài.

   You're a hundred yuan short.

   Notes stacked on the counter with one note's worth of space still empty
