THE PLURAL
In Inuktitut, the plural is used to talk about more than two of any noun:
| inuk | person |
| inuit | people |
The plural form always ends in t. Here are some instructions on changing a noun from its singular form to the plural:
if the noun ends in a vowel, add -it:
| ilisaiji | ilisaijiit |
| teacher | teachers (more than two) |
If the noun ends in t, just add -iit:
| uqaalaut | uqaalautiit |
| telephone | telephones |
If the object ends in any other consonant, delete the last consonant, and add -it:
| iqaluk | iqaluit |
| fish | fishes |
If you delete the last consonant, and find that you already have two vowels, just add t:
| puuq | puut |
| bag | bags |
