Welcome to the lesson on Telugu grammar - Plurals! In this lesson, we will learn how to form plurals in Telugu. Plurals are an important part of any language, and Telugu is no exception.
Overview
In Telugu, plurals are formed by adding suffixes to the end of a word. The suffixes used depend on the gender of the noun. For example, the masculine plural suffix is -lu, while the feminine plural suffix is -lu.
Masculine Plurals
The most common way to form masculine plurals in Telugu is to add the suffix -lu to the end of the word. For example, the word for "man" in Telugu is "purushudu". To make it plural, we add the suffix -lu, so the plural form is "purushulu".
There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the word ends in a consonant, the suffix -lu is not added. Instead, the consonant is doubled and the suffix -lu is added. For example, the word for "boy" in Telugu is "bala". To make it plural, we double the consonant and add the suffix -lu, so the plural form is "ballalu".
Feminine Plurals
The most common way to form feminine plurals in Telugu is to add the suffix -lu to the end of the word. For example, the word for "woman" in Telugu is "stree". To make it plural, we add the suffix -lu, so the plural form is "streelu".
There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the word ends in a consonant, the suffix -lu is not added. Instead, the consonant is doubled and the suffix -lu is added. For example, the word for "girl" in Telugu is "kanya". To make it plural, we double the consonant and add the suffix -lu, so the plural form is "kanyalu".
