adjective noh Common
Grammar & Structure Pronouns

Usage Note

Nos is the plural of the possessive notre, used before any plural noun regardless of gender, as in nos amis or nos idées. French marks the number of the thing owned rather than the owner, so one family still says nos enfants for their several children.

Examples

"Nos amis arrivent."

Natural Translation

Our friends are arriving.
