How do we express plural in Mandarin Chinese?
In Chinese, there is no suffix for showing plural. But when we are referring to a group of people, or animals sometimes, we can add 們/们 (men) after the word.
For example:
- 人(rén)[man] + 們/们 = 人們/人们 (rén men) [men]
- 老师（lǎo shī）[teacher] + 們/们 = 老师們/们（lǎo shī men）[teachers]
- 学生（xué shēng）[student] + 們/们 = 学生們/们（xué shēng men）[students]
