Indeed, in English, the term "skis" is used when referring to multiple ski. 🎿 Skiing is a sport beloved by many around the globe. Invented thousands of years ago, it has developed from a means of transportation into a popular recreational activity.
The word "ski" is an example of a noun that follows the common rule of forming plurals in English– by adding an "s" or "es" to the end of the word. So when we are talking about more than one ski, we simply say "skis." This rule applies to the majority of nouns in English, but there are some exceptions which we categorize as 'irregular nouns'.
Speaking of winter sports equipment, it's quite interesting to note that not all gear follows the same pluralizing rules. For example, the word 'snowshoes' is another item that follows the typical rule, while 'deer' and 'moose', used for leather in traditional skis and snowshoes, doesn't change in the plural form.
English is truly a language full of exceptions, isn't it? Skiing and language learning can actually be pretty similar, both can be a bit of a slippery slope, but once you get the hang of it, it's an incredibly rewarding and exhilarating ride. 🎢
