What is the plural of "euro"?
0 Hello, this is the first time I have used this forum. 02 br

00 I have a question I would like to ask you about the plural form of the word "euro". 02 br
02 br
00 Some say this word does not take the "s" in the plural (e.g. one euro, many euro), some others say that the plural is "euros" instead. 02 br
02 br
00 Do you know which plural form they use in Ireland, where the euro is the official currency? 02 br

00 Thank you in advance 0-

00 Abbie, you are right that an English speaker would pluralise €uro with an 's' to make Euros (and would pronounce likewise), however it's interesting to note that in the majority of other European countries the plural of Euro is Euro. 02 br
