You can pluralize a word by adding one of the plural forms, those being -s, ‘s, –\u00a0 en or –<\/strong>n<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

You add an -s if doing so does not have any consequenses on the pronounciation of the word: <\/strong>oom -> ooms (uncle, bureau -> bureaus (office), computer -> computers. If adding the -s might make one doubt about the pronounciation, you add -‘s: auto -> auto’s (car), baby -> baby’s, alinea -> alinea’s<\/span>
jury -> jury’s (judge)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Words that end with -ik<\/strong><\/span>
You write two k’s if the accent lies upon the\u00a0ik:\u00a0<\/em>snik -><\/strong>\u00a0snikken, tik ->\u00a0<\/strong>tikken<\/span>
You write only one k if the accent does not lie upon the\u00a0ik:<\/em>\u00a0mo<\/strong>nnik -> monniken,\u00a0vie<\/strong>zerik -> viezeriken\u00a0words that end with -ie or -ee<\/span>
You add \u00ebn to the end if the accent lies upon the -ie or -ee: ree -> ree\u00ebn, (faerie), categorie -> categorie\u00ebn (genius)<\/span>
You add -n and a diaeresis if the accent lies upon another part of the word: chemicalie -> chemicali\u00ebn, porie -> pori\u00ebn<\/span><\/p>

Words that end with -f or -s<\/strong>
<\/strong>The\u00a0f\u00a0<\/em>usually becomes a\u00a0v\u00a0<\/em>and the\u00a0s\u00a0<\/em>usually becomes a\u00a0z<\/em> when you pluralize words ending with -f or -s: laars -> laarzen (boot), kluis -> kluizen (locker), kloof -> kloven (ravine)<\/span>
However<\/strong>: fotograf<\/strong>en, biograf<\/strong>en, pluis<\/strong>en en laars<\/strong>en!<\/span><\/p>
