Translation: When context makes the counted item clear, the tamyīz may be omitted: “How much money do you have?” (how many dinars?) and “How often did you strike?” (how many blows?).
Omission does not remove the meaning. The listener supplies the counted unit from context. The textbook spells out both understood tamyīz expressions.
