Is this sentence correctly spelled in Japanese Kanji using plural suffix

Question

I am trying to write:

I have three game versions of Bio Hazard.

わたし 三つ バイオハザード ゲーム版達が あります

Watashi mittsu baiohazādo gēmu-ban-tachi ga arimasu

Is this correctly written?

Answer 1

We don't provide bulk proofreading service, so allow me to give an answer only with respect to the "plural suffix". Here, you shouldn't use 達 or any other such suffix. Many languages, including Japanese, do not have a rule that nouns must always have a suffix like the English "s" if they are plural. 達 is not for that purpose.

• What is the difference in usage between a plural using (a) the kanji repetition character 々, (b) a plural using -たち, and (c) the singular?

  In English (and in many other languages), every noun must be marked as singular or plural. In Japanese marking plurality for a noun is not mandatory. This does not mean that Japanese speakers can't convey the idea that a noun is singular or plural if they want to, it only means they don't have to — and indeed in most cases Japanese speakers will not explicitly specify if whether a noun is singular or plural.

People do sometimes attach 達 after a noun for a certain reason, but this is not relevant in your case: Can 達 be used to pluralize inanimate things?

Your sentence has some other mistakes, which I won't go into in detail, but the correct version of what you might be trying to say would be バイオハザードのゲームを3バージョン持っています or something.
