Counting number of objects
Hi,
If I wanted to buy lots of soccer balls for training and now I am at the front of a sales person in a sport shop and said "Can I have soccer balls?". "Yes, how many soccer balls do you need?" said the sales person.
In this situation, I think I have a couple of options for the answer:
"Ten please.", "Ten soccer balls please".
My question is this: is that poosible to say "Ten numbers please"? Although I've never heard of it I'm just curious. Becuase my language has some kind of THAT thing I can't explain.
Thanks
