Launchpad itself

Fulah Plural form

Asked by Ibrahima SARR

Fulah Plural form:
Fulah does not add an "s" or anything to plural unlike English. The singular word and the plural are different words.

puccu = horse ; pucci = horses
debbo = woman ; rewɓe = women

file = fiilde ; files = piille
1 file = fiilde 1
10 files = Piille 10
0 file = Piille 0

I hope this will help determine plural form for translation.

If I understand correctly then, there are two forms (a singular and a plural, just like in English) and you use the singular only if there is exactly 1 of something, but the plural if there's 0, or 2 or more of something (again just like in English).

I updated the language data here: https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages/ff

Thank you for the information.
