![]() I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |

Honestly, plurals are a bugger - there are so many rules that you just can't memorise them. You really should learn them as you go. A few plurals are distincitive though, and you'll start to see patterns, but I really can't get into a comprehensive discussion of plurals without a massive great big post which, frankly, won't help you because by the time you've got to the end of it your brain will have melted. I know mine will if I try and write it. ;-)
Get Gareth King's Modern Welsh and take a good look at his section on plurals - it'll explain it better than I can. In fact, I'd only be copying it, so best get it from the horse's mouth.
Oh and btw, not being a native speaker i'm not the best person to ask for advice on pronunciation, which is probably why i delayed responding to your earlier comment asking about 'Gwyl' which I pronounce something like 'gweeyl', but i might be saying it wrong. ;-)
