Talk:cloruri di calcio

RFV discussion: November 2022–September 2023
Italian. Plural of. Most results from Google Books are like “cloruri di calcio, di potassio, di sodio ecc.” (CaCl2, KCl, NaCl, etc.) --沈澄心✉ 12:51, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Just like, this should be uncountable. --Lambiam 23:43, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

 * In English one can find the simple plural calcium chlorides, usually referring to the various real products sold as calcium chloride, having calcium chloride as principal component, or with various levels and kinds of impurities, but also forms and phases of it. In English hardly any noun (no noun?) can not be found in a plural form. Is it the same in Italian (and other languages) that make a countable/uncountable grammatical distinction?

 * Yeah, it's the same. I guess basically every uncountable term can also be countable if you shift the meaning to "a variety of ~". Catonif (talk) 15:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * For English 'uncountable' nouns, the inflection line has the plural and says "usually uncountable". It also goes the other way, though we don't normally show it. One can say: "If you look farther from city center you can get more house for the money.", ie, uncountable use for an almost always countable noun. DCDuring (talk) 14:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Right. It still needs attestation though, which is hard since search results are littered with the "cloruri di calcio e sodio" thing. Catonif (talk) 18:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
