Examples of nouns ending in y preceded by a consonant

Asked by admin @ in English viewed by 265 People

Nouns ending in -y, preceded by a consonant, form their plural by changing -y into i and adding -es.

But how the plural is formed of the words ending in -y and preceded by a vowel?
Please explain with examples.

Answer:

Inventory on the plural of nouns :

In Somali, there is not one, but four ways to form the plural of nouns :

By adding a vowel suffix to the end of the name, usually -o ; -yo ; -oyin or -yaal.

By reduplicating a monosyllabic noun.

By making a tonal change on the noun : prosodic plural.

By adding a complex suffix : irregular plural.

For a given noun, the mechanism used is always the same.

Another feature of Somali is that a number of nouns switch gender when they are plural.

Detailed review of different types of plurals :

Type 1 - Feminine/Masculine, with -o ending

Type 2 - Feminine/Masculine, with -oyin ending

Type 3 - Masculine/Feminine, with -o or -yo ending

Type 4 - Masculine/Feminine, with -yaal ending

Type 5 - Masculine/Masculine, with -o or -yo ending

Type 6 - Masculine/Masculine, with reduplication

Type 7 - Masculine/Feminine, with tonal change

Type 8 - Irregular plurals
