In Inuktitut, the plural is used to talk about more than two of any noun:
The plural form always ends in t. Here are some instructions on changing a noun from its singular form to the plural:
if the noun ends in a vowel, add -it:
| ilisaiji |
ilisaijiit |
| teacher |
teachers (3+) |
If the noun ends in t, just add -iit:
| uqaalaut |
uqaalautiit |
| telephone |
telephones |
If the object ends in any other consonant, delete the last consonant, and add -it:
| iqaluk |
iqaluit |
| fish |
fish (3+)
|
If you delete the last consonant, and find that you already have two vowels, just add t:
uqaalautiralaaq
|
uqaalautiralaat |
cell phone
|
cell phones (3+)
