Punjabi Plural
Learning the Punjabi 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 Punjabi language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Punjabi.
Punjabi 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 | Punjabi Plural |
| Plural | ਬਹੁਵਚਨ, ਇੱਕ ਤੇਂ ਵੱਧ |
| my book | ਮੇਰੀ ਪੁਸਤਕ |
| my books | ਮੇਰੀ ਪੁਸਤਕਾਂ |
| our daughter | ਸਾਡੀ ਕੁੜੀ |

| I'm cold | ਮੈਨੂੰ ਠੰਢ ਲਗਦੀ ਹੈ |
| we're cold | ਸਾਨੂੰ ਠੰਢ ਲਗਦੀ ਹੈ |
| his chickens | ਉਸਦਾ ਕੁੱਕੜ |
| their chicken | ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਕੁੱਕੜ |
