1. Grammar (Linguistics):

A partitive refers to a type of expression that indicates a part of a whole.

In English, partitive constructions often use words like some, any, a piece of, a bit of, a slice of, etc.

Example: a piece of cake (only part of the cake, not the whole).

2. Mathematics (Set Theory):

Partitive set refers to a collection of subsets of a given set.

3. Linguistics (Cases in Some Languages):

In languages like Finnish or Estonian, the partitive case is used to express partial objects, indefinite quantities, or ongoing actions.

Example in Finnish: juon vetta (I drink some water) – "vetta" is in the partitive case, meaning an unspecified amount of water.

A quantifier is a word that usually goes before a noun to express the quantity of the object; for example, a little milk. Most quantifiers are followed by a noun, though it is also possible to use them without the noun when it is clear what we are referring to.

For example,

Do you want some milk? – Just a little. (It’s clear that I mean ‘a little milk’.)

There are quantifiers to describe large quantities (a lot, much, many), small quantities (a little, a bit, a few) and undefined quantities (some, any). There are also quantifiers that express the idea of a sufficient amount (enough, plenty)
