* Množina samostalnika “las” se v angleščini pojavlja v dveh oblikah, in sicer kot števni samostalnik “hairs” in neštevni samostalnik “hair”, ki se veže z glagolom v edninski obliki. Kadar je govora o laseh kot celoti, se uporablja oblika “hair”, npr. “njegovi lasje so črni”, kar se prevaja kot “his hair is black”. V primeru, da pa gre za navezavo na več posameznih laskov kot denimo pri stavku: “Na glavi ima nekaj sivih las,” se rabi števna oblika samostalnika: “There are some grey hairs on his head.”
