Plural of snus?

[chadizzy1]

I'm trying not to post alot of new topics, I don't want to seem like a post whore anymore, but this has been on my mind ALOT and I need input.

What is the plural of snus?

Snuses?
Snus'?

I think someone who knows Swedish should weigh in on this...

Mr. Snuffleupagus told me today it is snusii, but I think the plural is just snus.

I get tired of saying "products". On FB I got some snus gifts, and I said "2 Great Snus Products!" but I would have liked to have said "2 Great ________!" Snuses? Snusii? Snus'?

Snusage.

I have seen "snuses" used the most in English. English speakers have no clue what the actual Swedish plural is and so whatever people use the most is correct. :lol:

I just use snus. As in "I have a lot of snus cans.

Sni ??? ops:

It's just snus isn't it??

[RRK]

this probably doesn't really help.

Swedish boasts no less than five different pluralization suffixes, and it's often hard to know which one to use together with a certain noun. The -s plural suffix is never used in Swedish.
Though it is important to remember that there are always exceptions, for example "äpple" (apple) in plural is "äpplen" and does not fit into any generalized category, but is rather irregularly inflected, and there are words with complete irregularity, like "gås" (goose) and "gäss" (geese).
-er
bild > bilder (picture > pictures)
-ar
båt > båtar (boat > boats)
stol > stolar (chair > chairs)
-or
flicka > flickor (girl > girls)
-r
sko > skor (shoe > shoes)
-0 (no suffix)
hus > hus (house > houses)

Yeah, but you might say, "How many different snuses do you use?" when talking about many different brands or types of snus. The Swedish plural would be interesting to know but my guess is that "snuses" will stick in English.

I like sneese.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

I still like snusii.

Snuser is the correct form no matter what anyone else says.

Ett snus, flera snuser.
