What is the plural form of word minute in Chinese?

The plural form of "minute" in Chinese depends on the context:

If "minute" refers to a unit of time:

* 分钟 (fēn zhōng) is the most common way to express minutes in Chinese. This is already a plural form.

If "minute" refers to a small detail:

* 细节 (xì jié) is the general word for details in Chinese and is already plural.

* You can also use 细微之处 (xì wēi zhī chù), which literally means "minute details."

Example:

* "There are 60 minutes in an hour." (一小时有六十分钟。)

* "Pay attention to the minute details." (注意细节。)

It's important to note that Chinese doesn't typically use grammatical plurals like English does. The meaning of "minute" is conveyed through context and the choice of words.
