Hello, dear teachers.
In some contexts, like a bartender already knew what I wanted.
Can I just say: I want two glasses. (I want two glasses of white wine). ?
I have looked up some grammar books, they say words like "bottle, glass, plate" are partitives.But I didn't see partitives included "meter, liter, kilogram, hour".
It makes me think in some context can I say:
I want two hours. (Can this one mean " I want two hours of sleep" or just mean I want some time.)
I want two meters. (Does this one just mean I want length?)
Thanks a lot!
