Question

Hello!

Could you tell, is it possible to say : What about SOME coffee? (Is is correct to use “some” not “any” here in the question)

Answer

Good morning Jane.

The reason it is correct to say, ´What about some coffee?´ is because a limited quantity is implied. You are offering or requesting a certain amount of coffee (for example, one cup. )

In addition, although any is normally used in questions, some is used when making offers or requests.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards, Nicci

Answer

да, это ж про "немножко", а не "хоть какое-то"
