How many people are coming to the meeting? Twelve guests have confirmed their attendance. How much coffee do we have? We have enough coffee, but there are only a few cups. There is not much space on this table. Let us use two smaller tables near the window.

كم شخصًا سيحضر الاجتماع؟ أكد اثنا عشر ضيفًا حضورهم. كم لدينا من القهوة؟ لدينا قهوة كافية، لكن الأكواب قليلة. لا توجد مساحة كبيرة على هذه الطاولة. لنستخدم طاولتين أصغر قرب النافذة.
