Which is the use of 'some' in the question
Hi teachers,
We use some in questions for offers and requests. But in this case, what is it?
Is it a 'request'?
A: Do you want one olive?
B: Do we have some?
Thanks in advance.

Hi fivejedjon,
Thanks!
Using 'one' just puts more emphasis on the number, doesn't it?
Is 'some' in the question that wrong?
