"How many floors does this library have?"

Translation: 这个图书馆有几层？

[Ann55075]

Why not 这家? 图书馆 is definitely a building since it has floors

[Jason968824]

I think 家 is used mostly for restaurants and businesses

[CinnamonTe1]

The measure word for library is 座 (zuò). I think larger buildings or structures that have a more permanent or immovable location use 座. It is also a measure word for mountains, skyscrapers, towers, and bridges. I guess that any building or structure that is built to last a long time would use it.

Please accept 这家图书馆, as it is also a correct measure word.

[keine_panik]

The correct counters should always be accepted, no matter if we have officially learned them or not. 这座图书馆有几层 is a more correct answer than using 个.

[KX3.]

Yes, although to me 个 is just as correct in the sense that it applies to libraries that do not occupy a whole building as 座 seems to imply.

Why can't I use "这个图书馆有几楼" since 楼 is as same as 层 ?

[Gary329920]

Another valid translation should be accepted using 多少 rather than 几。 这个图书馆有多少层？

[grippygecko]

多少 is usually for numbers that can be at least double figures. Since even large libraries typically have fewer than 10 floors 几 would be the right option. In cases where we know the number will be a small one, using 多少 sounds a bit odd.

Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know it before
