Etymology 3
First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean —ᄃᆞᆶ (Yale: -tolh).
Sometimes regarded as a nativized form of Middle Chinese 達 (MC dat), but this is unlikely, since Middle Korean has a final cluster which is difficult to explain phonetically as a result of borrowing. However, it may be cognate with Japanese 達 (たち, tachi), which is also a pluralizer.

Particle
들 • (deul)
- -s (indicating the plural of a noun)
- 사람들 ― saramdeul ― people, persons
- 기억들 ― gieokdeul ― memories
Usage notes
- Korean does not grammatically distinguish between singular and plural nouns. Thus, while 사람들 (saramdeul) means "people", 사람 (saram) can mean either "person" or "people", depending on context.
- 들 (deul) is rarely used with nouns denoting inanimate objects. It is more often used with nouns denoting animate objects (people and animals), but then only when it is semantically necessary to make a distinction between singular and plural, or to emphasize plurality.
