Plural / Mehrzal
let´s try to talk about more than one thing ;)

German noun plurals is a tricky topic!
Would you believe it? — some of the BEST resources on German plurals that I found were written in 1914 and 1882 .
The German in these books was in old script and everything! BUUUUUTTT
Turns out, there are lots of predictable patterns to German noun plurals (just like for German noun gender!).
4
Well....
Whenever we learn a language — whether our 1st or our 10th — we usually start by learning nouns so that we can label things: table, floor, glass, plate, man, child, dog, tree.
Of course, to get anywhere with a language, you can’t just talk about one table, floor, glass, plate, etc. We need to be able to talk about any number of men, children, trees, dogs and more!

Good cop / Bad Cop
Bad News: German noun plurals are a bit trickier than in English (rats!).
Good News: In this guide, you’ll discover some shortcuts that make German noun plurals much more manageable!

How Plural Nouns Work in German
This can be a matter of …
spelling (i.e. which suffix the noun has) h
which syllable is emphasized/accented
ow long the noun is (e.g. single syllable vs. multi-syllable)
7
How Plural Nouns Work in German
most nouns ending in -el, -en, or -er don’t change in their plural forms
most nouns that have accented final syllables will be take an -e plural
most single-syllable nouns will take an -e + umlaut plural
8
6 major regular categories
no change
add -e
add -e + umlaut
add -s
add -er + umlaut
add -(e)n
9
Plurals Guideline
80% masculine and 75% neuter nouns take the -e plural
90% feminine nouns take the -(e)n plural.
Know the noun’s gender and you’ll know the correct plural form ~80% of the time!
