What is the grammatically correct pluralized form of the word 'sushi'? Please cite reliable references.

Question

e.g., "What are some of your favorite sush___?"

I, myself, like California rolls.

Answer 1

Personally, I would reword the statement to prevent the plural of the word "sushi" (which is also "sushi") from sounding awkward.
"What are some of your favorite sushi dishes?"

Contradictions may emerge when foreign words are used in English - as is increasingly the case in the age of globalization. When Latin words were incorporated into English, such as octopi, they retained their foreign purity. Therefore, precedent stipulates that sushi should retain its Japanese purity. In practice: one sushi, two sushi, three sushi. The main problem with this second option is that it plays havoc with the cognitive patterns that the brain uses to code language.

Answer 2

Very few Japanese words have plurals.They would probably say what is equvilant to two sushi, three sushi, etc.

Answer 3

I think you'd say what IS some of your favorite sushi

Answer 4

sushi is just sushi because it's a japanese word and japanese don't put plural forms.
So just go " What kind of sushi do you like". (:
Or "What are some of your favourite kind of sushi?"

Answer 5

Sushi is like sheep and moose

"What are your favorite sushi?

Answer 6

The official "rule" (per MLNA) is to either capitalize it or not, at the discretion of the user. This used to be a standard rule, but it has fallen out of favor and is not done more than is done. This is pretty much the same with "president" in reference to president of the United States (formerly, it was proper to capitalize it, too). Anymore, the only place you really see it is in works involving religion; general publications, when referencing God, do not usually capitalize "him", "he", etc.

Answer 7

Sushi. Japanese has no plurals.

Answer 8

Pretty sure it is sushi.
