@Atitarev, AryamanA I looked up the declension of this noun and I'm confused by sentences like this: 13 लेकिन अगर तुम वह पहेली नहीं बूझ पाए, तो तुम्हें मुझे 30 कुरते और 30 जोड़े कपड़े देने पड़ेंगे।” "13 But if you are unable to tell me the answer, you must give me 30 linen garments and 30 outfits of clothing.”" Should this maybe not be कुरतों?

@Benwing2: I don't see the issue here, that's the direct plural as it should be? Oblique plural is only applied when there is a postposition involved. कुरते दो "Give me clothes" takes the direct plural, उन कुरतों को दो "give me those clothes" with accusative marker को takes oblique. The accusative marker is only used for animate or definite objects. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 17:14, 13 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
