Grammar
countable vs uncountable
I know that "progress" and "luck" are uncountable in English. Are these two words uncountable in other languages?
Top answer
I would assume so. Luck and progress (as conceptual ideas) are not divisible into integral quantities. Whether the count/non-count characteristic is grammatically significant in another language depends on that language's particular grammatical constructs.
