## Masculine nouns with feminine plurals
Above we learned that **masculine nouns** that fit into the <Link to="/nouns/nouns-unisex/#1-basic">#1 basic pattern</Link>, we add the <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ونه", f: "óona" }} /> ending to make it plural. But there is also another interesting thing that happens in Pashto:
**Masculine nouns ending in a consonant can become feminine for the plural form**. Often you will hear both forms of the plural, the regular masculine form with <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ونه", f: "óona" }} /> and the feminine form as well.
