The plural form of the word "syllabus" is "syllabi" (sə-LIE-bye). 💡
When it comes to pluralizing nouns ending in -us, such as "syllabus," it's common for them to adopt the -i ending in their plural form. This is because "syllabus" has Latin origins, and in Latin, the plural form of some words ending in -us become -i in the nominative case.
So, if you have multiple syllabi to refer to, you would say, "I have several syllabi for my classes this semester."
It's interesting to dive into the origins of words and understand how they evolved and shaped the grammar rules we use today. Language is like a tapestry, full of unique patterns and intricacies. 🧵✨
