Turning singular words to plural can be very hard in some spoken languages, while other languages have simple rules.
GrammaticalNumber is heavily inspired by ActiveSupport::Inflector known from the Ruby on Rails web framework.

Lowercased, uppercased and capitalized words are supported.
"tooth".pluralized() // teeth "TOOTH".pluralized() // TOOTH "Tooth".pluralized() // TeethPrepends the pluralized String with count. If the count is 0, the singular word will be used.
"child".pluralized(count: 0) // 0 children "child".pluralized(count: 1) // 1 child "child".pluralized(count: 3) // 3 children "knife".pluralized(count: 0) // 0 knives "knife".pluralized(count: 1) // 1 knife "knife".pluralized(count: 3) // 3 knives "sheep".pluralized(count: 0) // 0 sheep "sheep".pluralized(count: 1) // 1 sheep "sheep".pluralized(count: 3) // 3 sheeplet rule: GrammaticalNumberRule = .uncountable("money")money will never change.
let rule: GrammaticalNumberRule = .irregular("tooth", "teeth")Turns tooth to teeth when used with pluralized(). Turns teeth to tooth when used with singularized().
let rule: GrammaticalNumberRule = .plural(#"^(m|l)ouse$"#, #"$1ice"#)mouse becomes mice and louse becomes lice.
let rule: GrammaticalNumberRule = .singular(#"(matr)ices$"#, #"$1ix"#)Turns matrices to matrix.
GrammaticalNumberRule.add(rule)In order to support other languages, pass the language parameter to your custom rules. Call .pluralized(language: yourLanguage) with the same language value — like so: .pluralized(language: "tr")
GrammaticalNumberRule.add(.plural(#"([aoıu][^aoıueöiü]{0,6})$"#, #"$1lar"#), language: "tr") GrammaticalNumberRule.add(.plural(#"([eöiü][^aoıueöiü]{0,6})$"#, #"$1ler"#), language: "tr") GrammaticalNumberRule.add(.singular(#"l[ae]r$"#, #""#), language: "tr")"kitap".pluralized(language: "tr") // kitaplar "yemek".pluralized(language: "tr") // yemekler- Devran "Cosmo" Uenal
