Luggage
when we want to be informed about the amount of one's "luggage" which question is possible? how much or how many? and why is one possible while the other is not? will you please help?

Luggage is not countable. You don't have one luggage or two luggages, so "how many" does not work. How much luggage do you have?

good but still there is a problem. you say "luggage" is uncountable. yes it is when we talk about ONE's luggage, but when it is two or more people, it is possible to say "luggages". is it still uncountable in this situation?
e.i. "We were flying to Rome when we lost our luggages."
1. How many luggeges were lost?
2. How much luggege was lost?
which questi
