plural of bichon frise
Hi!
A neighbour has recently got a bichon frise. Well, in fact, they've got two. So how do I refer to them if I ask about them? Three possibilities are bichons frise bichon frises bichons frises The third option follows the way it would be done in the original French. In which case, should I pronounce it as in French, i.e. the "s" are silent? Unless it's followed by a vowel? Or do I just ask "how are your dogs getting on?" Graham Aberdeen, Scotland |
