Hello friends,
I am translating a philosophic text from Arabic into English. I deal with a notion as 'miqdar' which is equal to magnitude and amount both in every Arabic-English dictionary. As I understood magnitude and amount both refer to the size of a quantity while it seems they are also different since I've not seen them as synonyms anywhere. Would you please tell me what is exactly their difference and is it possible to substitute them?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Benfi
