我覺得：
Raima & Chinese POV "Do you have any change?" = "你有冇錢找？"
Western translation "Do you have any change?" = "你有冇[散子]？" <-- 佢會在想，你想要幾多，＆幾散嘅[散子]neh?

通常，你問得西人呢個問題 (or 西人問返西人) ，99.99％OF THE TIME，係問人地有冇SPARE粹散子，而唔係有冇得找囉。。。
呢個係語言嘅CULTURE。。。書本冇得教～

Do you have change for 20 = 你啱啱比人＄20紙，人地唔明點解你又要＄20的散子。
Do you have change for 15 = 你啱啱比完人地＄20紙，問人地有冇＄15的粹子

ULTRAMAN講得啱。
呢個唔係英文問題，唔係IQ／LOGIC題。
而重點係，你o係社會，個NORM嘅意思IN PRACTICAL EVERYDAY LIFE，IN MOST SITUATIONS。

Chinese睇得／問得太literal...

I hope you understand

B仔

如果要直接D，LITERAL D，你可以問：
Do you have enough change for a 20?
=
你夠唔夠粹子嚟找一張＄20蚊紙


.... is the "proper" way to ask this question

B仔

呢個例子，最好證明到，有時，就算你直譯，就算GRAMMAR譯得通，都可以詞不達意。
我可以解釋嘅就係咁多。。。

至於點先可以學識PICK OUT呢D SITUATION，我就真係唔知可以SUGGEST D咩比你地喇～

B仔

通常呢句係D乞兒問我地拿錢時候講的
