Spoken Hindi Through Telugu
Plural is the word through which we get to know that the quantity of something is more than one i.e. लताएँ (Lataayein – Creepers), बच्चे (Bacche – Children), कुत्ते (Kutte – Dogs) , कमरे (Kamare – Rooms) etc. In Hindi, it is called बहुवचन (Bahu Vachan) and the singular form is called एकवचन (Ek Vachan).
