kiwis
SayKEE-weez/ˈkiːwiz/
- 1Plural of kiwi.
She sliced several kiwis into the fruit salad before lunch.
Conservationists released a dozen young kiwis back into the protected reserve.
Note
One regular -s plural covers every countable use of the word: birds released into a reserve, fruits in a bowl, New Zealand dollars, and people from New Zealand, who are more often written Kiwis with a capital K. The color name (kiwi green) takes no plural at all. Fruit eaten as a mass often stays singular too: a bowl of diced kiwi, not diced kiwis.
