Welcome to the Lithuanian Grammar lesson about Plurals! Plurals are an important part of any language, and Lithuanian is no exception. In this lesson, we will learn how to form plurals in Lithuanian.
Nouns
In Lithuanian, nouns can be either singular or plural. To form the plural of a noun, you need to add a suffix to the end of the word. The suffixes used depend on the gender of the noun.
Masculine Nouns
Masculine nouns usually take the suffix -ai. For example, the singular form of the word "vyras" (man) is "vyras", and the plural form is "vyrai".
Feminine Nouns
Feminine nouns usually take the suffix -os. For example, the singular form of the word "moteris" (woman) is "moteris", and the plural form is "moterys".
Neuter Nouns
Neuter nouns usually take the suffix -iai. For example, the singular form of the word "vaikas" (child) is "vaikas", and the plural form is "vaikai".
Irregular Nouns
Some nouns have irregular plural forms. For example, the singular form of the word "žmogus" (person) is "žmogus", and the plural form is "žmonės".
Adjectives
Adjectives also change when forming the plural. To form the plural of an adjective, you need to add the suffix -i. For example, the singular form of the word "geras" (good) is "geras", and the plural form is "geri".
Verbs
Verbs also change when forming the plural. To form the plural of a verb, you need to add the suffix -me. For example, the singular form of the word "eiti" (to go) is "eiti", and the plural form is "eime".
