Thread: Plurals...

Hello, I want to translate friend into plural, but I am unclear on whether it goes from Drug to Drugi - and what letter there, or to druzba...
I would have thought drugi, based on what I read from grammar forums, but I have only seen druzba in the internet dictionaries that work...

Друзья́ (droo-z'ya)

Yes,

друг (droog) "firend" - друзья (droo-Z'YAH) "friends"

дружба (DROOZH-ba) means "friendship"

Drugi (други) is also possible, but it's elevated and old-fashioned.

And quite rare.

Droug (дроугъ) is also possible... but only a few hundreds years ago.

дроугъ - word is the same as modern word just is written with old orthography. оу - is digraph (not 2 letters!) early used instead of the modern у
But дроузи was a plural form and is indeed another word as modern one

Not at all! It is very frequently used. Only in Bulgarian:
