===Nouns=== | |||
====Number==== | |||
Without articles, number is uninflected in Creole. This differs from Esperanto, where plurality is inflected with the suffix ''-j''. Instead, in Creole, the ''-j'' suffix developed into the plural definite article, ''je''. | |||
====Definite articles==== | |||
Like Esperanto, Rose Island Creole has no indefinite articles, but unlike Esperanto, Creole has two definite articles, singular ''la'' and plural ''je''. They are placed after the word and must agree with the number of the noun. | |||
