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. XX

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
