==== Articles ==== Like English, Interlingue has [[Article (grammar)#Definite article|definite]] and an [[Article (grammar)#Indefinite article|indefinite articles]]. The definite article (the) is ''li'', and the indefinite (a, an) is ''un''. Plural of a [[noun]] is made by adding ''-s'' after a vowel, or ''-es'' after most consonants.<ref name="pbbasis" /> To avoid pronunciation and stress changes, words ending in -c, -g, and -m only add an -s: un libre, du libre'''s''', li tric, li tric'''s''', li plug, li plug'''s''', li album, pluri album'''s'''.<ref name="pbgrammar" /> The ending of the definite article can be modified to '''lo''' (masculine), '''la''' (feminine), '''lu''' (neuter), '''lis''' (plural), '''los''' (masculine plural), e '''las''' (feminine plural).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cosmoglotta A, 1927, p. 96|url=https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-plus?aid=e0g&datum=1927&page=104&size=45|access-date=23 December 2020|archive-date=13 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210413203559/https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-plus?aid=e0g&datum=1927&page=104&size=45|url-status=live}}</ref> The article itself can also be pluralized before words that are difficult to pluralize on their own: '''lis s''' (the s's).<ref name="pbgrammar" />
