Money

[moniza]

1. I have little money.
2. I have a little money. (I don't have much money.)
Why money is considered as uncountable noun? In reality we count it.
ex: one euro, two euros.

[Clare James]

We call words like this 'uncountable' when they don't have any plural form - for example '3 moneys' ''23 loves', '4 rain' are all impossible.

Re "I have little...."
"I have little money" sounds a bit odd to me, though not wrong. I think most people would say "I have very little money."
"I have a little money" implies that you're satisfied with what you've got, or offering it as helpful and useful. "We can eat at a restaurant tonight, I have a little money."

I'm very surprised by "two euro." Discussing the European currency, a Canadian would say "two euros."
Just as any English-speaking person would say "one dollar, two dollars, etc."

Thank you very much baqarah, I understood.
Two euro? it's my careless mistake, I regret for that.
