And that doesn't sound bizarre in Russian? I was going to mention that one, but I though I'd get laughed out of the forum. If I were to say "I would like to buy one black shoes and one blue shoes," in English, I would be directed to a mental hospital... :D
It's because one in English can only be singular.
Whereas we say "one pair", Russians can use одни.
If I said "one clock", would it be "одни часы"?
