Category talk:Food by quantity

@Joshbaumgartner and Storye book: I created the Template:Food by quantity for the Category:Food by quantity.

My question: Ist "Many of food" correct or or should it better be "Many food"? (or is both correct)

Thank you for asking me to help. There is a problem here with the use of the word "food", because the word does not represent an object to be counted; it is a type. So the word "foods" would mean more than one type of food (not more than one piece of food). It would make sense to change the following:

Category:1 food → 1 piece of food OR 1 item of food
Category:2 of food → 2 pieces of food OR 2 items of food
Category:3 of food → 3 pieces of food OR 3 items of food
...
Category:13 of food → 13 pieces of food OR 13 items of food
...
Category:Many of food → Many pieces of food OR Many items of food

Similarly, one of your subcategories:

Category:2 breads → 2 pieces of bread OR many bread items (because bread is a type, too)

I have not looked at any more of your subcategories, so I suggest that you check through to see if there are any more confusions between types and countable objects.

Keep up the good work! Storye book (talk) 14:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
