"Information" utawa "informations" – tunggal utawa jamak ing Inggris?

Iki minangka salah sawijining kesalahan sing paling umum ing antarane para siswa basa Inggris. Ing basa Jerman ora ana sing salah yen ngomong " Informationen " utawa ing basa Prancis " informations ", iku minangka bentuk jamak saka tembung " information ". Nanging, ing basa Inggris tembung iki ora bisa diitung, yaiku ora duwe bentuk jamak. Bentuk tunggal nyatakake gagasan sing padha karo "informations" ing basa liya:

I don't have enough information.

I don't have enough informations.

Ora bisa diitungé tembung " information " uga ateges sampeyan ora bisa ngomong " an information ". Yen sampeyan pengin nyatakake yen sampeyan ngomong babagan siji unit " information ", sampeyan bisa nggunakake ungkapan " a piece of information ".

That's an interesting piece of information.

That's interesting information. (notice no "an")

That's an interesting information.

Lan mesthi, amarga information iku tembung aran tunggal, kita nggunakake bentuk tembung kriya tunggal sawise iku (umpamane, " is ", " does ", " has "):

The information is not correct.

The information are not correct.
