Gujarati Plural
Learning the Gujarati Plural is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Gujarati language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Gujarati.
Gujarati Plurals are grammatical numbers, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers. Here are some examples:
| English Plural | Gujarati Plural |
| Plural | behuvechen - બહુવચન |
| my book | mārā puse'tek - મારા પુસ્તક |
| my books | mārā puse'teko - મારા પુસ્તકો |
| our daughter | āpeṇī pute'rī - આપણી પુત્રી |
| our daughters | amārī pute'rīo - અમારી પુત્રીઓ |
| I'm cold | hum ṭhemḍā chhum - હું ઠંડા છું |
| we're cold | ame ṭhemḍā chho - અમે ઠંડા છો |
| his chickens | tenā chiken - તેના ચિકન |
| their chicken | temenā chiken - તેમના ચિકન |
As you can see from the example above, the structure of the Plural in Gujarati has a logical pattern. Locate the Plural above and see how it works with the rest of the sentence in Gujarati.
