Category:Italian nouns with multiple plurals

Italian nouns that have more than one possible plural (sometimes with distinct meanings).

Some Italian masculine nouns have both a masculine and a feminine plural form. There are no general rules, but often the feminine plural describes the collective or abstract aspect of the term, while the masculine plural emphasizes the individual parts. In other cases one plural form has become obsolete but is still used in fixed expressions. In some cases both forms are used with no obvious distinction in meaning.
