Memory Hook
Think of 'multiple' items on a shelf. 'Fukusuu' (複数) sounds like 'fook-sue' — imagine 'fook' (like 'look' at many) and 'sue' (like 'sue' for several). 'Fook-sue' → plural!
Cultural Note
In Japanese grammar, 『複数』 (fukusuu, 'plural') is used to indicate more than one, but note that Japanese often omits explicit plural markers in everyday speech. It's more common in formal or technical contexts, such as in language learning or legal documents.
