How To Master The Basics of Brazilian Portuguese Plurals



Problem
All the words seem separate things to learn.

Answer
No, they are easier than you thought at first sight. Add an s for plurals, like in English.  So you get these plurals:

os - the, masculine plural
as - the, feminine plural
nos - we, a plural, like nous in French, like a combination of the plural with n for us (N is upside down U)

After you grasp which word is which instantly, you no longer need the memory aid, the repetition reinforces the learning.
