What's the difference between "Plural" and "Mehrzahl" (and "Singular"/"Einzahl")? The dictionaries I've seen don't give much detail, except that Mehrzahl might be less common.

    "Plural" is the grammatical terminology. Mehrzahl means most likely "plural", but I never heard it in a grammatical context. I think it might be some similar like "Zukunft" (future) or "futur" (grammatical term).

Plural is a Latin term, die Mehrzahl is the equivalent German term.



However, this only applies when discussing grammar, as the noun die Mehrzahl has other uses as well.




In der Mehrzahl der Fälle verlaufen Infektionen mild.




It means majority then. You cannot use Plural in those cases. The counter term is die Minderzahl, as opposed to die Einzahl when discussing the singular grammar term.

  • The Latin terms because they aren't used in other contexts. Some people disagreed in the past as pupils had been required to learn Latin to understand German grammar, but duh! it's just random names, who cares if this was Latin or Moonspeak?
