Plural Nouns
பன்மைப் பெயர்ச்சொற்கள்
Tamil pluralizes almost every noun the same simple way — add -கள். Polish plurals don't follow one rule like that: the ending depends on the noun's gender and its final sound, and a few common words change shape entirely.

Plurals Take Several Different Endings, Not One Like Tamil's -கள்
kot → koty, dom → domy, kobieta → kobiety
பூனை → பூனைகள், வீடு → வீடுகள்
Tamil adds -கள் to almost any noun to pluralize it, with very few exceptions. Polish has no single equivalent: depending on gender and the noun's last consonant, plurals add -y, -i, -a, or -e instead — kot becomes koty, okno becomes okna, książka becomes książki. You'll pick up the patterns gradually as you meet more nouns; for now, learn each plural alongside its singular rather than expecting one rule to cover every word.
A Few Common Words Change Shape Entirely
dziecko → dzieci, rok → lata
குழந்தை → குழந்தைகள் (regular, unlike Polish here)
Tamil pluralization stays regular even for words like குழந்தை (child) — just add -கள். A handful of frequent Polish nouns don't just take a new ending, though — they switch to a different stem entirely in the plural. dziecko → dzieci and rok → lata are two of the most common ones you'll run into early, so it's worth memorizing them as irregular pairs rather than trying to derive them from a rule, the way you never need to for Tamil plurals.
