HI, You can't define that, here an example: "Your disease will last several weeks" So you don't know when exactly you'll be healthy again. You just can say that it will last for a longer period or a shorter period of time , but you cannot define it . Greetings

To me, people in the US take "several" as a number more than 3 but less than 6.

7 or more is considered beyond "a few" or "several". 'A couple of' suggests 2-3.
