Partner has 12-14 points, balanced.
You are happy with notrump, but would prefer to play in s if partner has three cards in the suit. To find out if he does, use New Minor Forcing.

So you say 2♣ and partner replies 2NT. It is your bid again.

Partner doesn't have 3 s. That's what you wanted to know, you bid 3NT.
