If I needed these, I'd go for smth like "Из всех этих [вещей], мне нужны две" - i.e., in Russian we need a longer structure here. I am not a linguist, but a native speaker. | |

| Jan 8, 2017 at 18:01 | comment | added | user6816 | @NikolayErshov could I say "два из этих" if I were pointing to things? | |
