Morphology
The meaning 'several individual days but not all days' is a direct compositional result of combining 'some' (an indefinite quantifier) with 'days' (time units). This determiner + noun pattern is a basic, cross-linguistically common construction and would be immediately interpretable by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase some days makes a simple calendar picture: imagine a week where only a few boxes, the days, are marked and the rest are empty. So some days means 'a few days but not every day'.
