Talk:Pandava
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] This should be at "Pandavas"
Whenever I've read something in English about them, the plural has always been "the Pandavas" and not "the Pandava". The Sanskrit plural is "pā́ṇḍavāḥ", so saying "the Pandava" is no more accurate than "the Pandavas", and the latter is by far the most common form in English. --Grammatical error 08:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- No, this article should be at Pandava, as the transliteration of the original term. It allows for plural use in Wikipedia as Pandavas, and also allows the correct use of the term Pandava brothers which is itself fairly common in English. But I've changed the usage in the article, from 'the Pandava' to the other forms. Imc 17:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
