I was assuming the phrase 'des livres' was a
partitive, by virtue of it being an indefinite number
of books. It could be two books, or twenty. Is my
assumption wrong, or are we using a different
definition of 'partitive'?
Someone remind me to never give examples in a language
I'm not fluent in (blushes).
