Learning Dutch: Nouns in Plural - the "Road Map"

Sep 01, 2016 23:46

I've recently started to learn some Dutch via MOOC, as you know.
And while learning "How to form the Plural of nouns", I've made this table for myself.
And as I'm not a teacher of Dutch and this is HALF-professional (based only on what we were given in MOOC - not on my research work), I decided to share it here for FREE.
But this is also an example of how I usually teach Russian - I just LOVE to explain ANY grammar topic in form of such "road maps" based on my research work.

Is it a...

Dutch word ?

Foreign (International) word?

Ends in
l/m/n/r//e ?

Ends in a vowel
(except “e”)

Other cases

+ S

Stressed ending

NON-stressed
ending

+ ‘S

+ EN

+ EN

+ S

dier => dierEN

ouder => ouderS

hobby => hobby’S

dag => dagEN

restaurant => restaurantS

dutch, foreign languages, fllearndutch, mooc
