=== Plural === There are two types of nominal plurals in Udmurt. One is the plural for nouns ''-{{lang|udm|ос}}/-{{lang|udm|ëс}}'' and the other is the plural for adjectives ''-{{lang|udm|эсь}}/-{{lang|udm|есь}}''. ==== Nominal plural ==== The noun is always in plural. In attributive plural phrases, the adjective is not required to be in the plural: {| class="wikitable" |+ Attributive plural !Udmurt !Transliteration !English |- |{{lang|udm|чебер(есь) ''нылъ'''ёс'''''|italic=unset}} |ćeber(eś) ''nyl'''jos''''' |(the) beautiful ''girls'' |} The plural marker always comes before other endings (i.e. cases and possessive suffixes) in the morphological structure of plural nominal. {| class="wikitable" |+Morphological order !Udmurt !Transliteration !English |- |{{lang|udm|ныл'''ъёс'''лы}} |nyl'''jos'''ly |to the girls |- |{{lang|udm|гурт'''ъёс'''азы}} |gurt'''jos'''azy |to/in their villages |} ==== Predicative plural ==== As in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] and [[Mordvinic languages]], if the subject is plural, the adjective is always plural when it functions as the sentence's [[Predicative expression|predicative]]: {| class="wikitable" |+ Attributive plural !Udmurt !Transliteration !English |- |{{lang|udm|нылъёс ''чебер'''есь'''''|italic=unset}} |nyljos ''ćeber'''eś''''' |the girls are ''beautiful'' |- |{{lang|udm|толъёс ''куз'''есь'''''|italic=unset}} |toljos ''kuź'''eś''''' |the winters are ''long'' |} Udmurt [[pronoun]]s are inflected much in the same way that their referent nouns are. However, personal pronouns are only inflected in the grammatical cases and cannot be inflected in the locative cases.
