    It probably doesn't sound incorrect, but, according to current grammar rules, it is.


    Antonio1986, let me blow your brain a bit more. If you want to ask a woman, whether she's the only one, who wants an ice cream, you would say:
    "Вы одна (!) хотите (!!!) мороженое?"
    I know it's "MR" not "ME", but still: fix my english mistakes, please!

    No difficult. The same structure in Greek Thanks God!!!
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    Yes, but "одна" is singular and "хотите" is plural. Is it the same way in Greek?
