Plural Exceptions and Irregular Nouns

יוצאי דופן ברבים

While most masculine nouns pluralize with -ים (eem) and feminine nouns with -ות (ot), Hebrew has many irregular plurals. Some masculine nouns take -ות, some feminine nouns take -ים, and some plurals change vowels completely. Learning these patterns prevents the most common noun mistakes.
