Plurals

In Tagalog you do not simply add the letter “s” to show a larger quantity as you would in English, although as a lot of English is used in Filipino speech, when doing so you can do this (e.g Mayroon akong maraming books – I have a lot of books) but the simplest way is to add “mga”.

e.g

Naglalaro ang bata – The child is playing

Naglalaro ang mga bata – The children are playing
