Urdu Grammar - Plurals

Welcome to the world of Urdu grammar! In this lesson, we will be exploring the concept of plurals in the Urdu language. Plurals are an important part of any language, and understanding them is essential for speaking and writing correctly.

What is a Plural?

A plural is a word that refers to more than one person, place, or thing. For example, the word "cat" is singular, but the word "cats" is plural. Plurals are formed by adding certain suffixes to the end of a word.

In Urdu, there are two types of plurals: regular plurals and irregular plurals. Regular plurals are formed by adding a suffix to the end of the word, while irregular plurals are formed by changing the spelling of the word.

Regular Plurals

Regular plurals are formed by adding a suffix to the end of the word. The most common suffixes used to form regular plurals are "-ein", "-ain", and "-aan".

For example, the word "ghar" (house) becomes "gharein" (houses). The word "kitaab" (book) becomes "kitaabein" (books). The word "aadmi" (man) becomes "aadmiyain" (men).

Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the rule. For example, the word "baccha" (child) becomes "bachchay" (children), not "bacchaein". The word "insaan" (person) becomes "insaano" (people), not "insaanein".

Irregular Plurals

Irregular plurals are formed by changing the spelling of the word. For example, the word "paani" (water) becomes "paniyaan" (waters). The word "kamra" (room) becomes "kamray" (rooms). The word "daftar" (office) becomes "daftaron" (offices).

Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the rule. For example, the word "kaam" (work) becomes "kaam" (works), not "kaamay". The word "naam" (name) becomes "naam" (names), not "naamo".

Conclusion

Plurals are an important part of the Urdu language. Understanding how to form regular and irregular plurals is essential for speaking and writing correctly.
