No there are not. In Spanish the plural is always made by adding s or es. I.E. Caballo, caballos, Yegua, Yeguas, Ají, Ajíes, Ajonjolí, Ajonjolíes, etc.

  • In Spanish you can find nouns with "irregular gender" where the article has the opposite gender than the noun. Here is a website with a list of good examples!

Well: luz, luces etc. But I agree there is aregularity to this too. I vote for you, good explanation. - annierats, May 4, 2012
Gracias. Just what I wanted to know. Thanks - Snowleopard, May 4, 2012
Yes annie! Luz and luces follow the rules of always z changing to c for plurals and adding es. That is why in z makes the same sound as c when it is next to i or e. (th in english) But it is only pronounced in Spain. I don't like that sound! ; ) - farallon7, May 4, 2012
