Extended guide
[সম্পাদনা]Use this template to show the inflection line of an English একবচন noun.
This template shows the noun in bold (optionally linking its components) and its plural inflections, if any.
{{en-noun}}{{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|-|s}}{{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|~|es}}{{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
[সম্পাদনা]If the noun forms its plural by adding -s, no parameters are necessary. E.g. on "word":
===Noun==={{en-noun}}
The above code displays as follows:
Noun
- word (plural words)
If the noun forms its plural by adding -es, specify that, e.g. on "march":
{{en-noun|es}}- march (plural marches)
If the noun forms its plural by changing its ending (e.g., by dropping its -y to add -ies) or by any other means (e.g. on "mouse"):
{{en-noun|allies}}- ally (plural allies)
{{en-noun|errata}}- erratum (plural errata)
{{en-noun|mice}}- mouse (plural mice)
Likewise, if the noun is identical in the plural, but still countable, specify it, e.g. on "Abkhaz":
{{en-noun|Abkhaz}}- Abkhaz (plural Abkhaz)
If the noun is uncountable, use "-", e.g. on "awe":
{{en-noun|-}}- awe (uncountable)
Similarly, on "beer" and "geometry":
{{en-noun|~|s}}- beer (countable and uncountable; plural beers)
{{en-noun|~|geometries}}- geometry (countable and uncountable; plural geometries)
If the noun has multiple plural forms, use more numbered parameters, e.g. on "octopus":
Pluralia tantum
[সম্পাদনা]If the word is a plurale tantum, then use Template:en-plural noun instead.
