English

English morphology shortcuts:

  • morphos\English\NounPluralization::pluralize($word, $count)
  • morphos\English\CardinalNumeralGenerator::generate($number)
  • morphos\English\OrdinalNumeralGenerator::generate($number)
  • morphos\English\TimeSpeller::spellInterval(DateInterval $interval)

English class hierarchy:

morphos\

                OrdinalNumeralGenerator
                NounPluralization
                TimeSpeller

Pluralization

Pluralization a word in English is possible with NounPluralization class:

use function morphos\English\pluralize;
use morphos\English\NounPluralization;

echo '10 '.NounPluralization::pluralize('foot') => '10 feet'
// or if you don't know count of objects

// or you can use shortcut

Numerals

All number creation classes are similar and have one common methods:

  • string generate($number) - Generates a cardinal numeral for a number.

Cardinal

Creation of cardinal numerals in english language (CardinalNumeralGenerator).

use morphos\English\CardinalNumeralGenerator;

// Get text representation of a number:
$number = 4351;

CardinalNumeralGenerator::generate($number) => 'four thousand, three hundred fifty-one'

Ordinal

Creation of ordinal numerals in english language (OrdinalNumeralGenerator).

use morphos\English\OrdinalNumeralGenerator;

// Get text representation of a number or short form:
$number = 4351;

OrdinalNumeralGenerator::generate($number) => 'four thousand, three hundred fifty-first'
// short form of ordinal numeral
OrdinalNumeralGenerator::generate($number, true) => '4351st'

Time units and intervals

You can generate text representation of time interval with TimeSpeller class:

use morphos\English\TimeSpeller;

// generate text representation of 5 years and 2 months
$interval = new DateInterval('P5Y2M');

TimeSpeller::spellInterval($interval) => '5 years 2 months'
TimeSpeller::spellInterval($interval, TimeSpeller::SEPARATE) => '5 years and 2 months'
