Number
In Kokborok there are two numbers: Singular and plural. The plural marker is used at the end of the noun or pronoun. There are two plural markers: rok and song. Rok is universally used while song is used with human nouns only. The plural marker is normally used at the end of the noun or pronoun. But when the noun has an adjective the plural marker is used at the end of the adjective instead of the noun.
Examples:
- Bwrwirok Teliamura o thangnai. These women will go to Teliamura.
- O bwrwi naithokrok kaham rwchabo. These beautiful women sing very well.
