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.

Grammar + Rules - Macedonian + Pronunciation
I speak one language [singular form] јас зборувам еден јазик [јas zboroovam yedyen јazik]
