Common Singularization Patterns
Regular Nouns
Most English plurals follow predictable patterns. Examples: books → book, cars → car, phones → phone.
Irregular Nouns
These don't follow standard rules. Examples: children → child, teeth → tooth, mice → mouse.
Foreign Origin Words
Words from Latin/Greek keep original singular forms. Examples: cacti → cactus, fungi → fungus, criteria → criterion.
Pro Tip: When converting technical terms, verify with a dictionary as some words have multiple acceptable singular forms (indices → index or indez).
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI handle ambiguous cases?
Our tool uses context to determine the most likely singular form when multiple options exist (e.g., "data" can become "datum" in technical contexts or stay "data" in general usage).
Can it convert phrases or compound nouns?
Currently optimized for single nouns. For phrases, we recommend singularizing the main noun (e.g., "attorneys general" → "attorney general").
Does it work for mass nouns?
Yes, it recognizes mass nouns that don't have plural forms (e.g., "water" remains "water" whether singular or plural).
