At the end of yesterday's session, we learned the Twi words for day, week, month, and year. Today, we'll learn how to transform them into plural forms. It's very tricky. Our teacher wants us to focus on a few main rules for pluralizing, rather than try to remember all of them. If pluralizing sounds really complicated, it is. Way too complicated! Here are the main rules and several examples:
- Replace beginning vowels with the prefix "a-" for words that begin with e ε o ⊃
- ⊃dan (house) --> adan (houses)
- bosome (month) --> abosome (months)
