Introduction
Samostalniki [nouns] se nanašajo na osebo, kraj, stvar, dogodek, snov ali pojav.
Množino uporabljamo zato, da pokažemo, da gre za več kot eno osebo, žival, kraj ali stvar.
Nekateri samostalniki so nepravilni, zaradi česar ne sledijo pravilom in njihovo množino tvorimo drugače.
Form
Samostalnikov z nepravilno množino ne tvorimo z dodajanjem -s ali -es. Ne obstaja pravilo, ki bi razložilo, kako se tvori množina teh samostalnikov. Najpogosteje rabljeni samostalniki z nepravilno množino so:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| child | children |
| foot | feet |
| man | men |
| mouse | mice |
| person | people |
| tooth | teeth |
| woman | women |
Example
- Child ⇒ We have three children.
- Foot ⇒ My feet are sore.
- Man ⇒ There are some men outside the house.
- Mouse ⇒ I found three mice in the barn.
- Person ⇒ They are such nice people.
- Tooth ⇒ He lost two teeth yesterday.
- Woman ⇒ They are very beautiful women.
Use
Samostalnike z nepravilno množino uporabljamo na isti način kot tiste s pravilno množino; le tvorimo jih na drugačen način.
Summary
Ne obstaja pravilo glede tvorjenja samostalnikov z nepravilno množino; moramo se jih naučiti na pamet.
Najpogosteje se uporabljajo: child ⇒ children, foot ⇒ feet, man ⇒ men, person ⇒ people, woman ⇒ women…
Na primer
— “An ox.” ⇒ “Three oxen.” / “Three oxes.”
— “There is only one goose in the street.” ⇒ “There are five geese in the street.”
