Hebrew has 2 plural forms and one dual form.

Plural:

  • Masculine plural (any number that is more than one) = -eem (־ים)
  • Feminine plural (any number that is more than one) = -ot (־ות)

Dual:

  • used for some words to mean two = -ahyeem (־יים)
  • Frequently used with words that naturally come in pairs, such as hands, feet, ears, eyes, etc.
  • It can also be used in words that would normally be singular in English: Chayim (חיים) = life
  • the dual form is not marked for gender, so it can be either masculine or feminine.
