+
+In Pashto **there are many, many ways that nouns become plural**. It may seem overwhelming at first to learn _all_ these different ways of nouns becoming plural. In the beginning, just look at a few. Then keep coming back and see if you're getting familiar with all the different ways that nouns become plural.
+
+Basically, to make a noun plural you have the following options:
+
+1. If possible, inflect it.
+2. Add a plural ending, or
+3. If the word has an irregular plural use that.
+
+## Plural by Inflection
+
+To understand how to inflect words, have a look at the 5 and a half inflection patterns. Here are some examples of nouns made plural using inflection.
+
+If a word is plural and also needs to be inflected for some other reason, we use the second or "double inflection" ending in . For more info about this "double inflection," see the inflection section.
+
+### Inflecting masculine nouns
+
+
+ {[
+ [
+ {
+ p: "ښوونکی",
+ f: "xUwóonkay",
+ e: "teacher",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "ښوونکي", f: "xUwóonkee", e: "teachers" },
+ // { p: "ښوونکیو", f: "xUwóonkiyo", e: "teachers" },
+ ],
+ [
+ {
+ p: "سړی",
+ f: "saRáy",
+ e: "man",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "سړي", f: "saRée", e: "men" },
+ // { p: "سړیو", f: "saRúyo", e: "men" },
+ ],
+ [
+ {
+ p: "پښتون",
+ f: "puxtóon",
+ e: "a Pashtun",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "پښتانه", f: "puxtaanu", e: "Pashtuns" },
+ // { p: "پښتنو", f: "puxtanó", e: "Pashtuns"}
+ ],
+ [
+ {
+ p: "غل",
+ f: "ghul",

+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "غله", f: "ghlu", e: "thieves" },
+ // { p: "غلو", f: "ghlo", e: "thieves" },
+ ],
+ ]}
+
+
+Notice that masculine nouns don't change for the first inflection, so to make these plural we will use the plural endings below.
+
+### Inflecting feminine nouns
+
+
+ {[
+ [
+ {
+ p: "ښڅه",
+ f: "xúdza",
+ e: "woman",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "ښځې", f: "xúdze", e: "women" },
+ // { p: "ښځو", f: "xúdzo", e: "women" },
+ ],

+ // { p: "ګاونډیو", f: "gaawanDúyo", e: "neighbors (f.)" },
+ ],
+ [
+ {
+ p: "پښتنه",
+ f: "puxtaná",
+ e: "a Pashtun (f.)",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "پښتنې", f: "puxtané", e: "Pashtuns (f.)" },
+ // { p: "پښتنو", f: "puxtanó", e: "Pashtuns (f.)" },
+ ],
+ [
+ {
+ p: "غله",
+ f: "ghla",
+ e: "thief (f.)",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "غلې", f: "ghle", e: "thieves (f.)" },
+ // { p: "غلو", f: "ghlo", e: "thieves (f.)" },
+ ],
+ [
+ {
+ p: "سختي",
+ f: "sakhtée",

+

+
+ ),
+ },
+ { p: "سختۍ", f: "sakhtúy", e: "difficulties" },
+ // { p: "سختیو", f: "sakhtúyo", e: "difficulties" },
+ ],
+ ]}
+
+
+Note that in the second and thrid patterns, feminine nouns the word does not change at all in the first inflection. In these cases the singular and plural are just the same. As we'll see below, in some cases we can express the plural using plural endings.
+
+
+ {[
+ [
+ {
+ p: "ملګرې",
+ f: "malgúre",
+ e: "friend (f.)",
+ sub: ,

+ e: "window",
+ sub: ,
+ },
+ { p: "کړکۍ", f: "kuRkúy", e: "windows" },
+ ],
+ ]}
+
+
+## Plural Endings
+
+Pashto also has plural endings that you can add on the end of nouns to make them plural. Many words don't fit into the 5 and a half inflection patterns, and so we need to use these plural endings. In some cases, even if a word inflects, people will often use a plural ending instead.
+
+### Masculine Plural Endings
