The Plurals in Spanish
In Spanish language the plurals are determined by feminine (las) and masculine (los) articles. Most of the sustantives have a singular and a plural form.
Example:
- El sol / Los soles
- El avión / Los aviones
- La taza / Las tazas
General rule[edit | edit source]
Usually the sustantives that end in vowels (a,e,i,o,u) turn into plurals with an 's' added at the end.
Example:
- El amigo / Los amigos
- La vaca / Las vacas
Words ending in -í or -ú[edit | edit source]
When the last letter is an í or ú with accent, an 'es' is added.
Example:
- El ají / Los ajíes
- El iglú / Los iglúes
Words ending in -d, -l, -r, -z...[edit | edit source]
When the the sustantive ends in (d, l, r, or z, …) -es is also added. The z also transforms into a 'c'.
Example:
- El leñador / Los leñadores
- La actriz / Las actrices
Exceptions[edit | edit source]
Thought there are exceptions like :
- El cactus / Los cactus
- El tórax / Los tórax
