How do we express plural in Mandarin Chinese?
Chinese-Language-PolyglotClub.jpg

In Chinese, there is no suffix for showing plural. But when we are referring to a group of people, or animals sometimes, we can add 們/们 (men) after the word.

For example:

  • 人(rén)[man] + 們/们 = 人們/人们 (rén men) [men]
  • 老师(lǎo shī)[teacher] + 們/们 = 老师們/们(lǎo shī men)[teachers]
  • 学生(xué shēng)[student] + 們/们 = 学生們/们(xué shēng men)[students]
