| while translating 'hours' when a particular number is specified (say 2 hours), do you suggest to use plural form of gujarati word for hour? કલાક Explanation: It should be 'કલાક' when the word 'hours' is preceded by a number. The number itself would suggest a plural form in Gujarati. When translating otherwise, i.e without a number preceding the word 'hours', plural form - કલાકો can be used. Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +2| while translating 'hours' when a particular number is specified (say 2 hours), do you suggest to use plural form of gujarati word for hour? કલાક Explanation: It is always 2 કલાકો. We never use plural when it comes to using hours after number. The translation should be such that it can be understood by the last person. We never say અમે ત્યાં બે કલાકો સુધી બેઠા. અથવા અમને ત્યાં પહોંચતા 3 કલાકો થયા. So it is always "hour" when it is after a number. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2018-01-18 14:00:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry. First line should be "It is never 2 કલાકો". |
