1. Pluralization

INTROIn Siclandish, much like other Romance languages, uses inflection for pluralization. On top of that, adjectives are inflected based on the number of the noun they are linked to. While Siclandish is fairly regular, there are some exceptions to the rules here and there. This article will go over the regular rules of pluralization.
Masculine Plurals
Most typically, masculine nouns are pluralized with i, which is either added after the final consonant, or replaces the final vowel. This is the simplest inflection for pluralization. Some nouns, however, will not drop the final vowel before adding the i; these nouns are typically descended from Greek, and need to be memorized.
Masc Nouns Ending In -c- & -g-
Masculine nouns that end in c will change from a hard /k/ to a soft /s/, and the i is added as normal. Nouns ending in g work much the same, shifting from hard /g/ to soft /ʒ/.
Feminine Plurals
The feminine plural is somewhat more complicated:
Words ending in a will now end in ae. Those ending in onen will become ones. Those ending in x will now end in ces. Some nouns from Greek ending in a will add ta instead of e; these also need to be memorized.
Standard feminine nouns will not change the pronunciation of c or g in the standard ae ending, they maintain their hard pronunciation.
Nouns ending in E
All nouns regardless of gender that end in e will take i in its place in the plural. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
