Absolutely, the word 'vitae' does have a plural form. It's derived from Latin and its plural form is 'vitae'. Yes, they're the same! It's a bit like sheep in English - one sheep, two sheep. Now, 'vitae' is rarely used in everyday English. You might have heard it used within 'curriculum vitae' or 'CV' which is essentially a resume. Like a storybook of your professional life, it lists your achievements, skills, and careers you've embarked on. It's singular because it focuses on one person. But say you're a hiring manager with a stack of CVs from several candidates, you would be looking at multiple 'vitae'. Linguistics is like an adventurous hiking trail, you never know where it might lead you next!
