Usage notes
Nouns ending on unstressed (short) -i (e.g. ), -o (e.g. ), -u (e.g. ) and -y (e.g. ) are rare in Swedish and most of them are loanwords. For this reason they do not have a native plural ending and speakers sometimes use a foreign plural or alternatively -sar, which can be regarded either as a double plural suffix (-s + ) or one unit. Alternatively -s- can be seen as an epenthetic consonant inserted to avoid vowel hiatus, i.e. *avokadoar > avokadosar.

This suffix is especially common when forming the definite plural by adding, as this ending cannot be added onto -s alone. For this reason, some speakers might say avokados in the plural indefinite, but avokadosarna in the plural definite.

Generally, this ending alongside -s are and not used in dictionaries, which usually recommend endings like  or  even after these four unstressed vowels.
