What do you think is the plural of Yoshi? Yoshis or Yoshies, or something else?

I think it is "Yoshies."

It has to be Yoshies. In games, it referrs to it as that, and plus that is the correct grammitical rule (OK, I'm going TOO far).

Yoshoo.

"Sure, most Nintendo fans remain hopeful, because this is essentially a pre-requisite for being a Nintendo fan, but I personally have had enough. This company seems to hate its consumers. It doesn''t even know who the hell they are. We are not a bunch of idiot kids who want 10-hours in Miyamoto''s garden marvelling at how detailed the textures are on some giant tincan. We want ACTUAL VIDEOGAMES! Of course, Nintendo are too high on themselves to realize this."

yoshis yoshies well if it was yoshis it wouldn't be yoshies witch i think is right in games i don't think they would put yoshis when you really spell it yoshies and they do spell it like that in the games!

I think both can be correct. I personaly add the e, as I think that looks better, but all in all, it is your call.....

in the smw2 prologue it says yoshi's island is where the yoshies live so it must be yoshies.

I always thought that the plural of moose was "meese", since the plural of goose is geese. I got the idea of "meese" from the Pinky and the Brain episode "Brain Acres", where they said...

B: Pinky, AYPWIP?
P: I think so, Brain, but if the plural of mouse is "mice", wouldn't the plural of spouse be "spice"?

And then the plural of house would be "hice", right?

What ever happend to the Pinky & The Brain and Animaniacs cartoons? They were some of the funniest Warner Bros. cartoons! Did they get cancled?

I always write Yoshi plural as 'Yoshies'.

I've seen it as both "Yoshies" and "Yoshis" in Nintendo publications. Any English majors out there...?

Mario Maniac · « **Reply #13 on:** June 23, 2002, 08:49:20 AM »

Hmm, this could get very complicated...

I guess we should e-mail Nintendo and ask them about this puzzling situation...
