Approximation by means of changing word order

[Anuska]

Hello.

In Russian it is possible to express approximation (not exact number) with numbers indicating time, quantity, age, distance, weight, etc. in several ways. One of them is changing the order of words. See the following examples:

1.ENG   He will be there for two months. (Approximation)
RU   Он будет там два месяца. (lit. He will be there 2 months.)

ENG   He will be there for about two months. (No approximation)
RU            Он будет там месяца два. (lit. He will be there months 2.)

OR

ENG      I am coming at 2 o'clock. APPROXIMATION, PRECISION
RU      Я приду в 2 часа. (lit. I come at 2 o'clock.)

ENG      I am coming around 2 o'clock. NO APPROXIMATION
RU       Я приду часа в 2. (lit. I come o'clock at 2.)

OR

ENG      There were 100 people in the room. APPROXIMATION
RU      В комнате было 100 человек. (lit. In the room were 100 people.)

ENG      There were about 100 people in the room. NO APPROXIMATION
RU      В комнате было человек 100. (lit. In the room were people 100.)

I know this is not possible in Czech. However, seems that in Polish it might happen (an old-fashion style). Does anyone know if it is possible in Polish and Bolgarian? Or do they use "around, about"?

Thanks,
Anja

Sorry,

Instead of APPROXIMATION should be PRECISION and

instead of NO APPROXIMATION should be APPROXIMATION.

My mistake.

Yes, right. Now your post is comprehensible at least .
