¿Esto suena natural? Here are two glasses for sake.
"Here are two glasses for drinking sake"
A native speaker said the latter sounds correct.
Why the former is incorrect?
- Inglés (UK)
- Inglés (US)
Poco natural
'Here are two glasses of sake' is better. Because it explains what those two glasses contain. Whereas, when you use 'for', that indicates a purpose. So, the latter sentence sounds correct. Which means that the two glasses are meant for drinking sake.
- Inglés (US)
Natural
Both are fine. Some people prefer the former because the sentence is expressed with fewer words, whereas some like the completeness of drinking sake.
