English Translation
There is little oil in Japan.
There is little oil in Japan.
V Yaponii malo nefti. ‧ в / Япо́ния / ма́ло|мало́ / нефть
This is an example of a sentence where key information, namely the stress in the inflected form, нефти, is omitted. For me, at least, the information that was provided (the stress in the base forms) was not. But if it were, not indicating the right stress in мало in the variant used here would make it useless as well.
