=== Nouns === Nouns and pronouns are marked for number in Meitei. The plural is indicated by the suffixes -khoi (for personal pronouns and human proper nouns) and -sing (for all other nouns). Verbs associated with the pluralised nouns are unaffected. Examples are demonstrated below:<ref name="Singh 2013">{{cite journal |last=Singh |first=S. Indrakumar |date=November 2013 |title=Agreements in Manipuri |url=http://www.languageinindia.com/nov2013/indrakumaragreementsmanipurifinal.pdf |journal=Language in India |volume=13 |issue=11 |pages=216–231}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- ! Noun (Meitei) !! Noun (English) !! Example (Meitei) !! Example (English) |- | angaang || baby || angaang kappi|| Baby cries. |- | angaangsing || babies || angaangsing kappi || Babies cry. |} When adjectives are used to be more clear, Meitei utilises separate words and does not add a suffix to the noun. Examples are show in the chart below:<ref name="Singh 2013" /> {| class="wikitable" |- ! Adjective (Meitei) !! Adjective (English) !! Example (Meitei) !! Example (English) |- | ama || one || mi ama laak’i || A person comes. |- | khara || some || mi khara laak’i || Some persons come. |- | mayaam || many || mi mayaam laak’i || Many persons come. |}
