60 dönüm arazi üzerinde .....
dönüm
Explanation: "dönüm"ün ingilizcede bir karşılığı yok. eğer kesin ölçü belirtmeniz gereken bir metinde geçiyorsa aynen bırakıp bir notla açıklama yapmanız gerekir sanıyorum. edebi bir metinde falan, konuşma içinde öylesine geçiyorsa da bunu ingilizceye "acre" olarak aktarabilirsiniz. aşağıdaki link yardımcı olur umarım.
