Even more funny about French... There are exactly THREE nouns that switch
their gender when going from singular to plural. These are ...



























(see below)





























(a lil' more patience ...)














Here we go :

These three nouns are : amour (love), délice (delight, approx.) and orgue
(organ).

Singular : Mon amour vient de partir (not "Ma amour") - means, like "My baby
just left me"
Plural : Mes amours sont parties (notice the "e" in "partiEs", which
indicates the feminine gender) - Means, like, "My loves are gone"

Same goes for delights and organs.
