Syntax ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
- {{plural|number|name}}
- {{plural|number|singular name|plural name}}
Examples ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
For most English nouns, the plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the singular form. If that is the case, only one "name" parameter is required:
{{plural|0|page}}
returns "0 page"{{plural|1|page}}
returns "1 page"{{plural|2|page}}
returns "2 pages"
For plurals that require adding "es", or more unusual forms, the singular and plural forms must be specified explicitly:
{{plural|0|ox|oxen}}
returns "0 ox"{{plural|1|ox|oxen}}
returns "1 ox"{{plural|2|ox|oxen}}
returns "2 oxen"
Notes ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
- While
{{plural|#|sheep|sheep}}
is valid, it is also fairly pointless.
