Example:
- El amigo / Los amigos
- La vaca / Las vacas
Words ending in -í or -ú[edit | edit source]
When the last letter is an í or ú with accent, an 'es' is added.
Example:
- El ají / Los ajíes
- El iglú / Los iglúes
Words ending in -d, -l, -r, -z...[edit | edit source]
When the the sustantive ends in (d, l, r, or z, …) -es is also added. The z also transforms into a 'c'.
Example:
- El leñador / Los leñadores
- La actriz / Las actrices
