That last one sounds bizarre in English, but it makes perfect sense if you know Arabic.
The direct English equivalent of this would be 'Give me a pair of cokes', which is the same grammatical structure as the Arabic version (one unit of two objects).

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @seuros@mastodon.bsd.cafe I’m using that the next time I order 2 of something at a restaurant. It’s totally correct but super unusual where I live.
