Guardian:
龙城的冬天都零下好几度了, winters in Dragon City are freezing
为了你这句话我练了几天几夜, how many days and nights did I practice because of what you said

Me:
在你的花园里有几朵花？
今年是二零二二年。

grayswandir linked the Wikipedia (mostly) comprehensive list of measure words, which is fun to browse through. I'm especially taken by 颗 for small objects (一颗珠子, a pearl) and objects appearing small (一颗星星, a star). How do you count stars up close?
