Documentation icon Dogfennaeth nodyn[gweld] [golygu] [hanes] [puro]

This template allows easy formatting of statements of the form "# thing(s)", with correct use of plurals. It uses the "plural" magic word, so ideally it should work with minimal modification for other language.

Syntax

golygu
  • {{plural|number|name}}
  • {{plural|number|singular name|plural name}}

Examples

golygu

For most English nouns, the plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the singular form. If that is the case, only one "name" parameter is required:

  • {{plural|0|page}} returns "0 page"
  • {{plural|1|page}} returns "1 pages"
  • {{plural|2|page}} returns "2 {{{4}}}"

For plurals that require adding "es", or more unusual forms, the singular and plural forms must be specified explicitly:

  • {{plural|0|ox|oxen}} returns "0 ox"
  • {{plural|1|ox|oxen}} returns "1 oxen"
  • {{plural|2|ox|oxen}} returns "2 {{{4}}}"
  • While {{plural|#|sheep|sheep}} is valid, it is also fairly pointless.
