Wizard’s Wisdom: Pluralizing Vegetables

In Afrikaans, to make a vegetable plural, you generally add -e to the end of the word. For example, ‘carrots’ is wortels (singular: wortel) and ‘potatoes’ is aartappels (singular: aartappel). Remember to use the correct plural form when talking about multiple vegetables!
