The meaning of "Stuff" in various phrases and sentences

Q: Что значит abstract stuff?
A: Abstract is something you cannot see or touch like thoughts, traits, or experiences.

If something is abstract, it means it doesn't have a physical form in anyway (you cannot see, touch, feel, smell, hear, or taste it).

Example: "please send them my love." (Love is a noun in this sentence, so it is abstract because you cannot physically touch your love to give to someone else ).

"I love them." (Love is a verb in this sentence. It is not abstract because you can measure it. You can tell someone HOW MUCH you love them).

In English, there are more abstract nouns than verbs. So Love as a noun is abstract. Love as verb is not seen as abstract

A: Good question!

stuff is very casual word that should only be used in conversation.
We often use it in place of things.
For example:

I have a lot of things to do today.

It can also be used at times when we can't use "things" for plural things.
What's all that stuff on the table for?

The basic nuance of stuff is things that the speaker feels is not that important or doesn't want to be too exact about.

Hope this helps.
