Plurals

Grammar Notes

Hebrew has two endings for plurals:

  • - for masculine nouns
  • - for feminine nouns

You also need to remove the ending of a word before making it into a plural.

Despite this simple system, there are a few irregularities. For example, is the plural of "wine", despite it being a masculine noun. These are relatively rare and have to be memorized.
