noun

दुनम, एक ओटोमन क्षेत्र इकाई

An Ottoman Turkish unit of surface area nominally equal to 1,600 square (Turkish) paces but actually varied at a provincial and local level according to land quality to accommodate its colloquial sense of the amount of land able to be plowed in a day, roughly equivalent to the Byzantine stremma or English acre.

Examples :

"The farmer estimated he could harvest about five dunam of wheat from his field this year, though the actual area might be a bit more or less depending on the soil's richness in different sections. "

किसान ने अनुमान लगाया कि वह इस साल अपने खेत से लगभग पांच दुनम गेहूं काट सकता है, हालांकि वास्तविक क्षेत्र मिट्टी की विभिन्न खंडों में समृद्धि के आधार पर थोड़ा अधिक या कम हो सकता है।
