Formation of plural nouns in German #2

posted 1 year ago

Last time, we learned about feminine nouns in the plural -> CLICK!

Now let’s concentrate on masculine and neuter nouns. Since that’s a little more complicated, I wanna divide it into two posts:

MASCULINE / NEUTER NOUNS:

Usually they end -e or -er. e.g. der Hund - die HundE; das Kind - die KindER

Many masculine nouns also add the Umlaut e.g. der Mann -> die MännER

And: nouns that have a singular vowel (a, u, o) or the diphthong <au> in their stem (au) also add the Umlaut. e.g. das Haus - die Häuser; der Baum - die Bäume
