Singular/Plural - Tunggal/Majemuk

From UniLang Wiki

In English language we have singular and plural nouns.

For example:

A cat - singular

Two cats - plural

Notice the addition of an s at the end of the noun

In indonesian language, a plural noun can be constructed by repeating the word

Kucing : A cat

Dua kucing : Two cats

Kucing-kucing : A lot of cats

Notice that as long as you identify the precise number of the noun, you don't have to repeat the noun. The repeated words are usualy written with the number 2 embedded at the end of the word. For example:

Kucing2 : read as Kucing-kucing

Other than that, the word "Banyak", which means "A lot of" can also be used.

Banyak kucing = Kucing2 = Kucing-kucing = A lot of cats
