よくある質問 (6)

No, only masculine nouns ending in -aa.
They have different rules, usually ending in -an or -aan.
Then it usually takes the '-aan' ending without the 'y'. For example, 'Akh' (eye) becomes 'Akhaan'.
No, 'Munda' is masculine. It changes to 'Munde'. Only feminine words ending in 'ee' use '-iyan'.
In Punjabi, only masculine nouns ending in the vowel 'ā' change to 'e'. Since 'ghar' ends in a consonant 'r', it stays the same.
You simply say 'do ghar'. The number 'do' (two) provides the plural context.
