    One of the other questions has बजे with ढाई . So which is correct? Is ढाई plural or singular?

    What? I entered "ढाई बजा है" missing the "।" at the end, and they marked it wrong!!!

    RanzoG Is DL using बजा is to denote half-past-two as a hyphenated singular noun? The only time बजे is used in a similarly applied sentence is when an oblique case is present .

      Namaste! The Hindi word ढाई means 2.5, two and a half, or the time "half past two".

      Numeral

      ढाई • (ḍhāī)

      1) two and a half; 2.5

      ढाई लाख रुपये ― ḍhāī lākh rupye ― two-hundred and fifty thousand rupees

      2) half past two
