== Plural Formation ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/sindhi Sindhi] learners! 😊<br>
In this lesson, we will explore the plural forms in Sindhi grammar. Sindhi is a fascinating language that has a rich history and culture. Sindhi is spoken in the Sindh province of Pakistan and in some parts of India. Sindhi grammar has evolved over time, and it has a unique structure that makes it interesting to learn.


In Sindhi, there are two ways to form plurals: adding a suffix or changing the word's ending.
__TOC__


=== Suffix ===


The most common way to form plurals in Sindhi is by adding a suffix. The suffix used depends on the gender of the noun. For masculine nouns, the suffix is ''-an'', while for feminine nouns, the suffix is ''-aan''.

== What are plurals? ==


For example, the plural of ''kitaab'' (book) is ''kitaaban'' (books), and the plural of ''kaam'' (work) is ''kaamaan'' (works).  
Before we dive into the plurals in Sindhi, let's briefly discuss what plurals are. In English, plurals are used to refer to more than one thing. For example, the plural of "cat" is "cats," and the plural of "book" is "books." Similarly, in Sindhi, plurals are used to refer to more than one thing.  


=== Changing the Word's Ending ===
In Sindhi, plurals are formed by adding suffixes to the singular form of a noun. There are different suffixes for different types of nouns, and we will discuss them in detail in the following sections.


Another way to form plurals in Sindhi is by changing the word's ending. This method is used for some masculine nouns that end in ''-a'' or ''-e''. To form the plural, the ''-a'' or ''-e'' is replaced with ''-an''.
== Plural Suffixes ==


For example, the plural of ''bhaa'' (brother) is ''bhaan'' (brothers), and the plural of ''doste'' (friend) is ''dostan'' (friends).
There are different suffixes that are used to form plurals in Sindhi. Here are some of the most commonly used plural suffixes:


== Irregular Plurals ==
=== -ون ===


There are some nouns in Sindhi that have irregular plurals. These nouns do not follow the rules mentioned above and must be memorized.  
The suffix -ون ("-oon") is used to form plurals of most Arabic loanwords and some Sindhi nouns that end in a long vowel, a diphthong, or the consonant و ("waw"). Here are some examples:


For example, the plural of ''maa'' (mother) is ''maataan'' (mothers), and the plural of ''baap'' (father) is ''baapaa'' (fathers).

|-
| كتابون || kitaboon || books
|-
| شاتري || shaatri || friend
|-
| شاتريون || shaatrioon || friends
|}


== Exceptions ==
=== -ين ===


There are some exceptions to the rules mentioned above. For example, the plural of ''bache'' (child) is ''bachchon'' (children), even though it ends in ''-e''.  
The suffix -ين ("-een") is used to form the plural of most Sindhi nouns that have a short vowel (a, i or u) in the last syllable, and some Arabic loanwords. Here are some examples:


It is important to remember these exceptions, as they can help you understand the language better.
