New Years
A person looked at a set of Japanese New Year dishes (meals) and said,
"THAT looks like New Years!"
My question is "New Years" is used in the plural. Is this a kind of intensive plural, like "We had lots of rains last year."?
Top answer
e. possessive not plural, short for "New Year's + relevant noun" (as in "New Year's Day").
