Extended guide แก้ไข

Use this template to show the inflection line of an English singular noun.

This template shows the noun in bold (optionally linking its components) and its plural inflections, if any.

{{en-noun}}
{{en-noun|+}}
{{en-noun|s}}
{{en-noun|es}}
{{en-noun|...}}
{{en-noun|...|...}}

If the term has uncountable senses, the template can indicate whether the term is sometimes or never countable. Specifying - as the first parameter indicates that a term is uncountable, and no plural is shown by default. If it may occasionally be used as countable, specify the plural form after it.

{{en-noun|-}}
{{en-noun|-|+}}
{{en-noun|-|...}}

Specifying ~ instead indicates that the term is used more or less equally as countable and as uncountable, and uses the default plural.

{{en-noun|~}}
{{en-noun|~|...}}

In entries for English plural-only nouns, use {{en-plural noun}}:

{{en-plural noun}} 
{{en-plural noun|head=[[Christmas]] [[lights]]}} 
{{en-plural noun|head=firework}}

Parameters แก้ไข

The default plural is formed as follows:

  1. If the noun ends in -s, -x, -z, -sh or -ch, add -es.
  2. If the noun ends in -y preceded by a consonant (any letter other than a, e, i, o or u), change the -y to -i and add -es.
  3. Otherwise, add -s.

If the noun forms its plural according to these rules, no parameters are necessary. E.g. on cherry:

===Noun===
{{en-noun}}

The above code displays as follows:

Noun

cherry (พหูพจน์ cherries)

If the noun forms its plural in any other way (e.g. on erratum and mouse):

{{en-noun|errata}}
erratum (พหูพจน์ errata)
{{en-noun|mice}}
mouse (พหูพจน์ mice)

Likewise, if the noun is identical in the plural, but still countable, specify it, e.g. on Abkhaz:

{{en-noun|Abkhaz}}
Abkhaz (พหูพจน์ Abkhaz)

To explicitly request the default plural, use +. This is not necessary if the only has one plural, but it useful if the noun has multiple plurals, e.g. on octopus:

{{en-noun|+|octopi|octopodes}}
octopus (พหูพจน์ octopuses หรือ octopi หรือ octopodes)

If the noun is uncountable, use -, e.g. on awe:

{{en-noun|-}}
awe (นับไม่ได้)

If the noun is usually uncountable, use - followed by an explicit plural, e.g. on reality:

{{en-noun|-|+}}
reality (โดยปกตินับไม่ได้, พหูพจน์ realities)

If the noun is either countable or uncountable, use ~, e.g. on beer and geometry:

{{en-noun|~}}
beer (นับได้และนับไม่ได้, พหูพจน์ beers)
{{en-noun|~}}
geometry (นับได้และนับไม่ได้, พหูพจน์ geometries)

If you want to qualify a plural, use |plNqual=, e.g. on tree:

{{en-noun|+|treen|pl2qual=obsolete}}
tree (พหูพจน์ trees หรือ (obsolete) treen)

Pluralia tantum แก้ไข

If the word is a plurale tantum (always or usually used in the plural only, such as scissors or cattle), then use {{en-plural noun}} instead.
