مرور کلی
-s یا -es به حالت جمع تبدیل میشوند که به آن regular pluralization میگوییم. برای مثال، book تبدیل به books میشود. با این حال، گروهی از اسمها از این قاعده پیروی نمیکنند و به آنها irregular plural nouns میگوییم.goose (غاز) است. جمع این کلمه gooses نیست، بلکه geese است. در زبان فارسی، ما برای جمع بستن اسمها معمولاً از پسوندهای -ها یا -ان استفاده میکنیم (مثل کتابها یا درختان).regular عمل کند.goose به geese بر اساس پدیدهای به نام i-mutation یا umlaut رخ داده است. در زبان انگلیسی باستان، وقتی یک مصوت خاص در هجای بعدی کلمه قرار میگرفت، باعث میشد مصوتِ اصلیِ کلمه تغییر کند. در مورد goose، مصوتِ oo تحت تأثیر ساختارِ جمعِ قدیمیِ کلمه، به ee تبدیل شد.geese به تنهایی نشاندهنده جمع است و نیاز به هیچ پسوندی ندارد.geeses، در واقع دارید دو بار کلمه را جمع میبندید که از نظر منطقِ انگلیسی کاملاً غلط است. نکته کلیدی اینجاست: goose یک اسم مفرد (singular noun) است و geese یک اسم جمع (plural noun). شما نمیتوانید برای geese از فعل مفرد استفاده کنید.The geese are... و هرگز نباید بگویید The geese is....goose | geese | oo → ee | A goose is here. |foot | feet | oo → ee | My foot hurts. |tooth | teeth | oo → ee | One tooth is white. |oo به ee را به عنوان یک «قاعده استثنایی» در حافظه خود ثبت کنید. همانطور که در جدول میبینید، این تغییر فقط مختص غاز نیست و در کلمات پرکاربرد دیگری مثل foot و tooth نیز تکرار میشود.goose فقط زمانی استفاده کنید که دقیقاً درباره یک پرنده صحبت میکنید. مثلاً در محیط دانشگاه یا کافههای تهران، اگر بخواهید به یک غاز خاص اشاره کنید، میگویید: That goose is beautiful. اما اگر در یک پارک یا در یک سفر به دریاچه زریوار با تعداد زیادی غاز مواجه شدید، باید از geese استفاده کنید: Look at those geese in the lake.geese به خودیِ خود جمع است. نیاز نیست چیزی به آن اضافه کنید. در فارسی، ما گاهی اوقات جمع را به صورت انتزاعی استفاده میکنیم، اما در انگلیسی، اگر عددِ بیشتر از یک باشد، حتماً باید از شکل جمع استفاده کنید.geese را به کار ببرید.- 1افزودنِ -s به کلماتِ جمع: رایجترین اشتباه، گفتنِ
geesesاست. دلیل آن، فشارِ زبان مادری (فارسی) است که در آن «ها» همیشه به انتهای کلمه میچسبد. ذهن شما میخواهد قانونِ کلی را روی این کلمه اجرا کند. - 2استفاده از فعل مفرد برای اسم جمع: اشتباهِ
The geese is swimmingبه این دلیل رخ میدهد که در فارسی، ما همیشه فعل را با فاعل تطبیق میدهیم اما چون ساختارِ جمعبستن در فارسی با پسوند است، در انگلیسیِ محاورهای فراموش میکنیم کهgeeseخودش یک فاعلِ جمع است. - 3اشتباه گرفتنِ کلماتِ مشابه: برخی زبانآموزان فکر میکنند چون
gooseمیشودgeese، پسmoose(گوزن شمالی) هم میشودmeese. این یک خطایِ تعمیمدهی (Overgeneralization) است.mooseدر حالت جمع همmooseباقی میماند.
-ها | تغییر مصوت (Irregular) |- 1آیا میتوانم بگویم
two gooses؟ خیر، این از نظر گرامری کاملاً اشتباه است. همیشه بگوییدtwo geese. - 2چرا
mooseمثلgooseجمع بسته نمیشود؟ چون هر کلمهای تاریخچه آوایی متفاوتی دارد.mooseاز زبان بومیان آمریکا وارد انگلیسی شده و از الگویi-mutationپیروی نمیکند. - 3آیا
geeseهمیشه نیاز بهtheدارد؟ خیر، بستگی به جمله دارد. اگر درباره غازها به طور کلی صحبت میکنید (Geese are loud)، نیازی بهtheنیست، اما اگر درباره غازهای خاصی در یک مکان مشخص صحبت میکنید، ازtheاستفاده کنید.
