Yes, the plural form of reindeer is also reindeer. Isn't language entertaining like a wordy sleigh ride? Now, you might wonder why's that. Well, let's gallop into the snowy forest of linguistics for a moment. English has a group of words that are the same in both singular and plural contexts, often animals, like sheep, fish, and deer. These words, inherited from Old English, don't add an 's' for the plural form unlike most English nouns. In Old English, they had different endings for plural forms which have been dropped in Modern English. Therefore, whether you spot one reindeer or a whole herd dashing through the snow, you can confidently say, "Look at all the reindeer!" Isn't language as magical as Christmas morning? 🎄
