"Wrong Planet Forums." Forums.

Fora?

Do you prefer reality over idealism? Should pluralization of a loanword follow the rules of the language it is stolen from?

Make your choice!

Dear Kip. Finnish is the only language in the world where singular forms and plural forms can start with another letter. Ask me about plurali. I know them all. Ask Moomingirl. For a reason which I quite don't know, she is studying Finnish. And her grammar is better than mine.

I have to admit that your question is interesting. I have been pondering it myself. Having learned English at the age of 12, my eyes tried to find all bizarre occurences of English plurals in our grammar manuals.

Fori. Ask Moomin. Her Italian is better than mine.

Jeg ante ikke at finsk var så vanskelig! Takk for at du postet et eksempel, Krabo!
Wow!
Er det tilfelle for mange substantiv eller er det unntaksvis?
