Urdu Plural
Learning the Urdu 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 Urdu language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Urdu.
Urdu 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 | Urdu Plural |
| Plural | jeme' - جمع |
| my book | meyrey ketab - میری کتاب |
| my books | meyrey ketabeyn - میری کتابیں |
| our daughter | hemarey beyṭey - ہماری بیٹی |
| our daughters | hemarey beyṭeyan - ہماری بیٹیاں |
| I'm cold | mejehai seredey leguey hai - مجھے سردی لگی ہے |
| we're cold | hemeyn seredey leguey hai - ہمیں سردی لگی ہے |
| his chickens | as kai meregh - اس کے مرغ |
| their chicken | an kai meregh - ان کے مرغ |
