The plural form of "youth" can be either "youths" or "youth" depending on the context. If we're talking about individual young people, we often say "youths". For example, "Three youths were seen at the park." However, if we're referring to the collective group or concept of young people as a whole, we can use "youth". For example, "Youth are the future of our country." Using "youth" in this collective sense paints a picture of a unified, interconnected group, much like a wave in the ocean – it's composed of individual water droplets, yet we perceive it as a single entity. On the other hand, "youths" brings to mind a group of individuals, each with their own unique characteristics, like a mosaic of colorful tiles.
