Category:German plurals into Category:German noun forms
German nouns inflect for case, so a "plural" is often only the plural of some of the cases, not all of them. I think our practice for categories called "plurals" is to have them only if the language has no other noun forms, and to use "noun forms" otherwise. 13:54, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Still, it's common practice in German (and other languages probably as well) to refer to the nominative plural form as "the plural". So if someone asks you to give the plural of the lexeme, the expected answer would be (which is the nominative plural, and happens to be the accusative and genitive plural, too), not  (the dative plural). I don't know if that's relevant for the issue discussed here, though. Longtrend (talk) 21:21, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure. That's what I tried to say with my last sentence. Longtrend (talk) 16:27, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's true. Doesn't the accelerated script use the plurals category? If so, it should be fixed first. -- Liliana • 21:44, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
