Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

I speak one language [singular form] unë flas një gjuhë
we speak three languages [plural noun] ne flasim tri gjuhë
