Items: The text "two-and-a-half rupees"

Extra information: I'm looking for a translation for "two-and-a-half rupees" in Devanagari that looks somewhat similar to this Kaithi (if such a translation exists). I believe the Kaithi romanizes to something like arhai rupaya. Thanks!

Translation[]

Since it's a quantitative translation, I'll elaborate.

  • In Hindi, there are specific terms for each of the numerical values, and somewhat same goes for their halves too. For instance:
    • three → तीन (Tīna), and three-and-a-half → साढ़े तीन (Sāṛhē tīna)
    • four → चार (Cāra), and four-and-a-half → साढ़े चार (Sāṛhē cāra)
  • However, specifically for one-and-a-half and two-and-a-half, specific terms are used: डेढ़ (Ḍēṛha) for one-and-a-half (or simply half) and ढाई (Ḍhā'ī) for two-and-a-half.
  • Ergo, two-and-a-half rupees would be ढाई रुपए (Ḍhā'ī rupa'ē).
