Type any Dutch noun and get its plural — with the rule and the spelling change behind it.
Every Dutch plural takes de. Check the singular article →
The default: add -en. Short vowels double the consonant (kat → katten), long vowels open up (boom → bomen), and f/s often become v/z (huis → huizen).
Nouns ending in an unstressed syllable — -el, -en, -er, -je — add -s: tafel → tafels, meisje → meisjes.
A single vowel at the end takes an apostrophe: auto → auto's, oma → oma's, foto → foto's.
528 common nouns have their own plural page — or just type any noun above.
Most Dutch nouns add -en, with a spelling change: a short vowel doubles the final consonant (bus → bussen), a long vowel opens the syllable (boom → bomen), and a final f or s often becomes v or z (brief → brieven, huis → huizen). Nouns ending in an unstressed -el, -en, -er or a diminutive -je add -s instead, and nouns ending in a single vowel add -'s.
Always de. Every plural noun in Dutch is a de-word, no matter whether the singular was de or het: het huis → de huizen, het kind → de kinderen. That's one rule you never have to second-guess.
A small group ends in -eren: kind → kinderen, ei → eieren, blad → bladeren. A few change the vowel too: stad → steden, schip → schepen. These are memorised; the tool flags them for you.
Yes. Correct plurals matter for the writing and reading parts of the A2 inburgeringsexamen. Practising the plural alongside the article (de/het) of the nouns you use most is one of the fastest ways to sound correct.
