In Maryan Coptic, nouns can be divided up into two numbers: singular and plural. Nouns technically do not have a separate plural form, so to make a noun plural (or singular), you have to rely solely on prefix articles:
| Singular | Plural | |
| Definite | pi- / ti-* | ni- |
| Indefinite | u- | han- |
* - pi- for masculine nouns, ti- for feminine nouns
However, some nouns contain separate plural forms and need to be memorized:
| Singular | Plural | Translation |
|---|---|---|
