Template:Pluralizer: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 04:16, 31 August 2024

This template is used to get the plural form of most words barring a few exceptions using the following rules:

To make regular nouns plural, add –s to the end.
If the singular noun ends in –s, –ss, –sh, –ch, –x, or –z, add -es to the end to make it plural.
If the noun ends with –f or –fe, the f or –fe are often changed to –ve before adding the –s to form the plural version.
If a singular noun ends in –y and the letter before the –y is a consonant, change the ending to –ies to make the noun plural.
If the singular noun ends in –y and the letter before the –y is a vowel, simply add an –s to make it plural.
If the singular noun ends in –o, add –es to make it plural.
If the singular noun ends in –us, the plural ending is frequently –i.
If the singular noun ends in –is, the plural ending is frequently –es.
If the singular noun ends in –on, the plural ending is –a.

Note: This template doesn't check if a word is already in Plural form so Classes would be returned as Classees.
