    The plural form of a noun in Japanese is identical to its singular form. For example, the word 鹿 (shika, “deer”) could refer to one or several deer, just like the English word “deer.” There are several strategies you can use to make it clear when something is plural, including the use of counter words, the use of quantity words like 全て (subete, “al...

    Grammatically speaking, Japanese nouns have no grammatical number. In plain English, what that means is that the singular form and the plural form are the same for all nouns. If you see えんぴつ (enpitsu, “pencil”), that could mean a single pencil or it could mean multiple pencils. On the one hand, this is great. You don’t need to memorizemultiple vers...

    The suffixesたち (tachi) and ら (ra) can be added to the end of a person or pronoun to refer to multiple people. The main difference between the two is that たち sounds slightly more polite, and ら slightly more casual. These suffixes don’t technically make things plural, but are what grammarians call “collectivizing suffixes.” In other words, saying ジョン...

    Because たち and ら can only be used with people, other strategies are needed when dealing with animals or inanimate objects. One option for pluralizing nouns is to use counter words. These words can be combined with numbers to refer to a specific amount of nouns of the same type. This is similar to English, where you could say “There are four deer” a...

    Another problem with counters is that they only work if you’re dealing with specific numbers. What if you really just want to say there is some number of deer outside, for instance? If you want to pluralize something without numbers, you can use a quantity word like “several” or “all” in place of the number and counter word from our previous senten...

    Learning all these complicated rules for making nouns plural can be a challenge. You can do itif you put your mind to it, but sometimes you just want to take the easy option. In that case, always remember how this article started: there is literally no difference between singular and plural nouns in Japanese. That means it’s perfectly acceptable (a...

    • 達 ( たち ) 語尾 (ごび) — Suffixes may be placed at the end of nouns to indicate quantity and are frequently used to talk about people in the plural form.
    • ら. This is another suffix used to make nouns plural, but is less formal and can be, as I’ve mentioned, rude in some contexts. For example, you may have come across the term 奴ら (やつら) — those guys in anime or manga.
    • 方 ( かた / がた ) and ども. Both of these suffixes indicate respect for the nouns attached to them. They’re often used when mentioning a group of one’s superiors or people that the speaker may not be familiar with.
    • 人 ( り / にん ) There are many different counters in Japanese, which can make expressing plurals extra complicated. For one, some counters are more appropriate for certain nouns than others.
