Pashto Plural

Learning the Pashto Plural is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Pashto language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Pashto.
Pashto Plurals are grammatical numbers, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers. Here are some examples:

English Plural	Pashto Plural
Plural	jem' - جمع
my book	zema ketab - زما کتاب
my books	zema ketabewnh - زما کتابونه
our daughter	zemwenẓ̌ lewr - زمونږ لور
our daughters	zemwẓ̌ lewṇ - زموږ لوڼې
I'm cold	zh dekam am (zema saṛh shewada) - زه ذکام یم (زما ساړه شویدی)
we're cold	mewnẓ̌ dekam aw (zemwenẓ̌ saṛh shewada) - مونږ ذکام یو (زمونږ ساړه شویدی)
his chickens	dheghh chergan - دهغه چرګان
their chicken	dheghewa chergan - دهغوی چرګان

As you can see from the example above, the structure of the Plural in Pashto has a logical pattern. Locate the Plural above and see how it works with the rest of the sentence in Pashtu.
