Meaning of variable %amount%
What is the meaning of the variable %amount%? Is it a number only or a number + a unit, e.g. a currency or a weight unit?
Example: {{plural:%amount%|one=Meat|other=Meat|default=Meat}}
Meat is not countable. It is a collective noun. For me the plural statement does not make sense here. Plural makes sense only if the word is not Meat but Piece of meat.
Example: {{plural:%amount%|one=Piece of meat|other=Pieces of meat|default=Piece of meat}}
But the original string has the collective noun only. With a variable %amount% I would expect a value of type number + unit, e.g.
%amount% {{plural:%amount%|one=Meat|other=Meat|default=Meat}}
Example: 5 kg (as value of %amount%) Meat (as value for the other rule).
But in Upper Sorbian in latter case the collective noun stands in genitive singular for all rules (partitive genitve).
%amount% {{plural:%amount%|one=mjasa|two=mjasa|few=mjasa|other=mjasa|default=Mjaso}}
Example: 5 kg mjasa
Otherwise I had to translate English Meat as časć mjasa (one=) resp. časćow mjasa (other=) corresponding to English Piece of meat:
%amount% {{plural:%amount%|one=časć mjasa|two=časćej mjasa|few=časće mjasa|other=časćow mjasa|default=časće mjasa}}
But this makes sense only if the variable %amount% represents a number only, without a unit.
Example: 10 časćow mjasa
FreeCol uses uncountable nouns as countable. It does not have any units, it's just 5 coats, 12 silver, 34 food....
