The conversation between human and AI assistant.
If the plural of woman is women then why is the plural of human humans and not humen?
That makes sense. I've also heard that English has borrowed a lot of words from other languages. How does that affect plural forms?
Yes, English has borrowed from many language families, such as Latin, French, and Germanic languages. When we borrow words, we often keep the original plural form or modify it to fit English language rules. For example, "octopus" is a word borrowed from Greek, and its plural form in English is "octopuses" or "octopi," which is a modified Latin plural form.
