Pluralizing in Amharic
To pluralize, you add ኦች/ oč if the noun ends in a consonant, and /ዎችwoč if it ends in a vowel. The possessive marker goes on the end of the pluralized word.
| Singular | Plural Plural | Possessive |
|---|---|---|
| ልጅ lïj child | ልጆች lïjoč children | ልጆቼ lïjoče my children |
| ውሻ wïša dog | ውሻዎችWïšawoč dogs | ውሻዎቼwïšawoče my dogs |
| ድመትdïmmät cat | ድመቶች dïmätoč cats | ድመቶቼ dïmätoče my cats |
Note: ውሻዎቼ wïšawoče may become ውሾቼ wïšoče for short. This is especially common for nouns ending in –a (4th order).
Examples:
- - leba -- leboč t’äbäk’a -- t’äbäk’oč aläk’a -- aläk’oč
