Extended guide[සංස්කරණය]
Use this template to show the inflection line of an English singular noun.
This template shows the noun in bold (optionally linking its components) and its plural inflections, if any.
{{en-noun}}
{{en-noun|+}}
{{en-noun|s}}
{{en-noun|es}}
{{en-noun|...}}
{{en-noun|...|...}}
If the term has uncountable senses, the template can indicate whether the term is sometimes or never countable. Specifying -
as the first parameter indicates that a term is uncountable, and no plural is shown by default. If it may occasionally be used as countable, specify the plural form after it.
{{en-noun|-}}
{{en-noun|-|+}}
{{en-noun|-|...}}
Specifying ~
instead indicates that the term is used more or less equally as countable and as uncountable, and uses the default plural.
{{en-noun|~}}
{{en-noun|~|...}}
In entries for English plural-only nouns, use {{en-plural noun}}
:
{{en-plural noun}}
{{en-plural noun|head=[[Christmas]] [[lights]]}}
{{en-plural noun|head=firework}}
Parameters[සංස්කරණය]
The default plural is formed as follows:
- If the noun ends in -s, -x, -z, -sh or -ch, add -es.
- If the noun ends in -y preceded by a consonant (any letter other than a, e, i, o or u), change the -y to -i and add -es.
- Otherwise, add -s.
If the noun forms its plural according to these rules, no parameters are necessary. E.g. on "cherry":
===Noun===
{{en-noun}}
The above code displays as follows:
Noun
- cherry (plural cherries)
If the noun forms its plural in any other way (e.g. on "mouse"):
Likewise, if the noun is identical in the plural, but still countable, specify it, e.g. on "Abkhaz":
{{en-noun|Abkhaz}}
- Abkhaz (plural Abkhaz)
To explicitly request the default plural, use +
. This is not necessary if the only has one plural, but it useful if the noun has multiple plurals, e.g. on "octopus":
If the noun is uncountable, use -
, e.g. on "awe":
{{en-noun|-}}
- awe (uncountable)
If the noun is usually uncountable, use -
followed by an explicit plural, e.g. on "reality":
{{en-noun|-|+}}
- reality (usually uncountable, plural realities)
If the noun is either countable or uncountable, use ~
, e.g. on "beer" and "geometry":
{{en-noun|~}}
- beer (countable and uncountable; plural beers)
{{en-noun|~}}
- geometry (countable and uncountable; plural geometries)
If you want to qualify a plural, use |plNqual=
:
Pluralia tantum[සංස්කරණය]
If the word is a plurale tantum (always or usually used in the plural only, such as scissors or cattle), then use {{en-plural noun}}
instead.
