I heard someone in a bakery order “Eine Milch bitte”. The Milk was behind the counter – it was one of these Tetrapak things.
I was a bit surprised cus in english it would be weird to say “a milk please”. You’d need to add the container in this kind of situation e.g. “a carton of milk please”
I have in the past in similar situations asked for “eine Pakung Milch bitte” does this sound wrong / not wrong but stiff / totally fine?
I mean, you will be understood but it’s longer than it needs to be.
We just treat it like English treats beer.
– A beer please.
You wouldn’t say “bottle” there either.
cool thanks.
