Category:Spanish plural nouns

[edit]

and Category:Spanish plural adjectives. Unused. The non-lemma forms are placed in Category:Spanish noun forms and Category:Spanish adjective forms. --Bequw ? ¢t 17:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

What about using this to categorise Spanish significant plural nouns? pantalones, vías... El imp 14:55, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
The title should be more descriptive for that, to indicate that they are always (or usually) encountered in a "plural" form. --EncycloPetey 19:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Exactly. That would be a different cat with a different name. But be bold and create it. --Bequw ? ¢t 09:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
The category for what you guys are referring to should be something like Category:Spanish pluralia tantum — [ ric ] opiaterein14:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I personally think that this category (Category:Spanish plural nouns) should be the one we use, rather than Category:Spanish noun forms considering the fact that most Spanish nouns only have ONE non-lemma form, and 3 at the most, which is mostly for occupations and words describing people. To compare plural forms of nouns and a few feminine equivalents to languages that have full case systems to me seems particularly silly. I agree with the deletion of Category:Spanish plural adjectives in favor of "Spanish adjective forms", but because they more consistently have 3 non-lemma forms. — [ ric ] opiaterein14:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I agree that Category:Spanish plural nouns should be used for nouns that are normally or always plural. This category name is more intuitive and would be easier to find than a more descriptive/elaborate category name. Keep category systems simple and intuitive for easier editing. Will help reduce learning curve for general public (non-editors) and newer editors.
Deleted, they're either noun forms or plurals, but not plural nouns. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
