Nouns in Aido don't declense for plurality, so how do you make a noun plural?

The answer is simple: use pronouns! For example, let's take the word "door" and add pronouns!


Door 1First person (person)
speaker, signer, etc; I
st person
12First person inclusive (person)
speaker and addressee; you and me/us
nd person
2Second person (person)
addressee (you)
nd person
3Third person (person)
neither speaker nor addressee
rd person
5Fifth person (person)
indefinite or generic; one, "they" say that
th person
SGSingular (number)
one countable entity
I am a doorWe are both doorsYou are a doorIt is a doorSomething is a door
PLPlural (number)
more than one/few
We are doorsWe are all doorsYou are doorsThey are doorsEverything is doors


So if you wanted to say "There must be a door here", you might want to use "There is 5Fifth person (person)
indefinite or generic; one, "they" say that
.SGSingular (number)
one countable entity
door."
Combinations are also possible. As an example: "There is 5Fifth person (person)
indefinite or generic; one, "they" say that
.SGSingular (number)
one countable entity
3Third person (person)
neither speaker nor addressee
.PLPlural (number)
more than one/few
door." would indicate that there must be multiple doors. Literally: "Something is multiple doors."
