@IbisWtf don’t troll my thread. I see you.

Sometimes I jokingly use that word with my wife to “enhance the plurality of it”, though I refer to it as “stuffses”.
Datas and knowledges sound amazing!

My guess is French.

Thanks guys for your responses. I want to see more people guessing and then I will reveal the nationality of the guy, and ask a couple more questions.

Yup I guess Indian also.

Just joking. I’ll throw in a flyer: Philippines.

No, not so many compatriots here :frowning:

I’m gonna say Spanish. I knew a guy from Spain who always used the plural of everything. I don’t think it’s Taiwanese as in my experience they always forget to use plural. I also doubt it was somebody from Phillipines as they speak great English. Indians likewise.

I would use all of three.
Might not datas, but could use.

What is the difference between staff and stuff?

12

What’s your nationality?

Alright, alright. @ma3xiu1 and @Liub got it right. I’d like to hear why everyone guessed the nationality they said. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also I wanted to ask if you guys know why this seems to be common among Indians. Was it the English spoken during their colonization? do their own languages have these traits?
