Arabic plural finder

Arabic plurals don't add an ending; most of them rearrange the word from the inside. This finder knows 2,500+ spoken Palestinian pairs. Look one up, spot its pattern, then drill the common ones until they stick.

The shapes to know

A few templates cover a lot of ground. CCooC turns beit into byoot and galb into gloob. CCaaC turns walad into wlaad and jabal into jbaal. Feminine nouns in -e/-a often just take -aat (sayyaara, sayyaaraat), and words for people lean on -een(fallaa7, fallaa7een). The finder shows each result's pattern and how many words share it, because learning byoot quietly teaches you gloob too.

Questions people ask

Why can't I just add -s like in English?+

Some Arabic words do take a regular ending (-aat for many feminines, -een for people), but a huge share of everyday nouns use a broken plural instead: the inside of the word changes. beit becomes byoot, walad becomes wlaad, ktaab becomes kutub. There's no rule that predicts it reliably; each word carries its own plural, which is exactly why a lookup helps.

What do the pattern chips mean?+

Broken plurals cluster into templates. When a result says pattern CCooC, that's its vowel shape with C standing for each consonant, and the count shows how many other words in the list break the same way. Learn one word per pattern and the rest come cheaper.

Are these MSA plurals?+

They're the spoken Palestinian forms, from the same corpus as the rest of our tools. Where the dialect and MSA disagree, you get the dialect.
