I wonder if [/FONT]‘[FONT=&#23435]time[/FONT]’[FONT=&#23435] here is a countable noun or an uncountable noun.[/FONT][FONT=&#23435][/FONT]
[FONT=&#23435]Thanks. [/FONT][FONT=&#23435][/FONT]

Normally, "time" is a count noun, but in this expression it is always "some other time". So what do you think?

[FONT=&#23435]I find this in Merriam-Webster[/FONT]’[FONT=&#23435]s Advanced Learner[/FONT]’[FONT=&#23435]s English Dictionary:[/FONT]
[FONT=&#23435]
I[/FONT]’[FONT=&#23435]m afraid we[/FONT]’[FONT=&#23435]ll have to finish this meeting some other [= another] time.

[/FONT][FONT=&#23435]So I think [/FONT]“[FONT=&#23435]time[/FONT]”[FONT=&#23435] in [/FONT]“[FONT=&#23435]some other time[/FONT]”[FONT=&#23435] is a countable noun. What do you think?[/FONT]

I think 'other' applies to uncountable nouns, as in 'other information'.

In that sentence it is a noncount noun. (We never say "I"ll see you you some other times".) However, you could say, for example: "I'll see you three more times."

I'd like someone to answer my previous question and also want to know if 'other' can be followed by any uncountable nouns.

Yes, it can. (Thanks to Matthew for the example.)
