Introduction
Določniki [determiners] so povedna določila samostalnikom. Dajejo nam informacije o katerih in kolikih ljudeh, stvareh… govorimo.
Količinske določnike [quantitative determiners] ali kvantifikatorje [quantifiers] uporabljamo pri navajanju količine nečesa.
Form
Ni natančnih pravil glede tvorjenja quantitative determiners. Glavni so:
- Za števne samostalnike: both, many, (a) few…
- Za neštevne samostalnike: some, much, (a) little…
Example
Števni samostalniki
- There are shops on both sides of the street.
- Not many people visit London every winter.
- Were there only a few people at work?
Neštevni samostalniki
- Some people like football and basketball.
- We do not have much time.
- How little sugar is left?
Use
Quantitative determiners uporabljamo s števnimi in neštevnimi samostalniki, da navedemo količino nečesa.
Števni samostalniki:
- Both = Eden in drugi iz para;
- Many = Velika količina ločenih predmetov;
- (A) few = Majhna količina nečesa.
Neštevni samostalniki:
- Some = Nedoločena, a znatna količina nečesa;
- Much = Velika količina snovi;
- (A) little = Majhna količina nečesa.
Summary
Količinske določnike [quantitative determiners] uporabljamo pri navajanju količine nečesa. Z različnimi samostalniki uporabljamo različne količinske določnike.
- Števni samostalniki, ki se jih da enostavno prešteti s številkami, se lahko uporabljajo z določniki both, many in (a) few…
- Neštevni samostalniki, ki se jih ne da enostavno prešteti in, ki se jih dojema kot snov, se lahko uporabljajo z določniki some, much in (a) little…
Na primer:
— Števni: “Can you buy a few coffees at the bar?” = skodelic kave.
— Neštevni: “Can you buy some coffee at the supermarket?” = kava v prahu.
Coffee je lahko tako števni kot neštevni samostalnik; razlika je v pomenu.
