Indonesian term or phrase: belasan
Apakah ada padanan dalam bahasa inggris untuk kata 'belasan' seperti dalam kalimat berikut:

Ada belasan rumah yang digusur.

Selama ini saya hanya menemui 'dozens of', 'tens of (thousands/millions)', tetapi belum pernah menemui istilah yang mewakili arti 'belasan' seperti dalam kalimat di atas.


Terima kasih banyak sebelumnya untuk bantuan rekan-rekan
