Guest  +  46612 Tue, 21 Sep 04 07:56 PM Seems like a simple question yet it has me stumped at the moment. I'd guess stati but I don't know if that's common enough usage for people to understand. Guest Plurals

	anon1  +  46617 Tue, 21 Sep 04 08:57 PM Guest, I can't even think of a sentence where the plural form of status would be required. Nevertheless, according to Merriam Webster dictionary the plural form is statuses. You can find Merriam-Webster Dictionary here: http://www.m-w.com/. I hope that helps.

	rishonly  +  190938 Tue, 31 Jan 06 01:34 AM 'Statuses' is the plural form of 'Status', and, in fact, my dictionary doesn't have the word 'stati' at all. Is it--stati-- a valid word? rishonly Joined on Sat, Mar 5 2005 KUMBAKONAM,INDIA Contributing Member 1,782 Regards, Krishna Plurals

	paco2004  +  190939 Tue, 31 Jan 06 01:58 AM There is no word like "stati" in English. "Status" is originally a Latin noun and in Latin it declines as a u-stem noun. So in Latin, the plural form of "status" is also "status".  Another word of this sort is "virus". The plural of "virus" in Latin is "virus". But now English people pluralize them as "statuses" and "viruses". In contrast with them, the Latin noun "alumnus" declines as an o-stem noun, and the plural form is "alumni", which is also true in English. paco paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member 4,095 In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
