LESSON XIV.
Formation of the Plural.
80. In Malay it can often only be decided by the context whether the singular or the plural is intended, but when there is nothing whatever to indicate the number, the noun may generally be assumed to be in the plural, as,
bli pisang, buy bananas.
jual itek, sell ducks.
81. With certain nouns the plural may be expressed by reduplication of the noun itself, as,
raja, a king.
raja-raja, kings
