| Forming plurals in Portuguese - I added this game onto Polish forum and it goes well there. I think it\'ll be useful also here since there are some tricky nouns in portuguese too that have irregular plural. Hopefully waiting for your posts! :D => um cão | |

You can pick the plural form you like most :-D maçã (pl) => maçãs next => pão (bread) | |
| Isabel | Friday 29th of September 2006 11:05:53 PM |
| - Xi thanks for the correction! I forgot the ~ at maças *hitting myself* About anciãos - I always find this form of plural the correct one. Maybe it really depends on the meaning of each word. pão - pães (no doubt about it :D) again: viagem | |

O plural correto é \"fora-da-lei\", porque \"fora\" é um advérbio e portanto não pode variar. [Ok, I admit: it was a very, very tricky one.
