Can もう一つ Be Used As a Question?


**Hirigana:** もう一{ひと}つ

**Translation:** [Another; One
More](http://jisho.org/word/%E3%82%82%E3%81%86%E4%B8%80%E3%81%A4)

**Scenario:** I'm drinking with a close friend and we've both finished our
beers. I get up to go to the fridge, point to his empty bottle and say
"もう一{ひと}つ" with a rising inflection to denote a question (Do you want another
beer?).

**Question:** Would this be grammatically correct (even in a colloquial
sense)?




You can definitely make yourself understood by saying 「もう1つ？」 with rising
intonation, but it's better to use the appropriate counter for bottles ("本").
And we usually add some verb even in the most casual settings.

To your friend, colloquially:

  * もう[1本]{いっぽん}[行]{い}く? (行く ≒ "go on" here)
  * もう1本いる?
  * もう1本[飲]{の}む?

If you have to say this politely:

  * もう1本お[飲]{の}みになりますか?
  * もう1本いかがですか?
