Word origin
Spanish plural comes from Latin pluralis, which is formed from the root plus 'more' and the adjectival suffix -alis, and it denotes the word form that indicates multiple individuals or objects.
Usage tips
- Plural in Spanish triggers agreement, so articles and adjectives are also plural, nouns ending in -z change to -ces (lápiz → lápices), and some words keep the same form in both numbers (lunes, crisis).
