    • Die meervoud van "gee" is nie "gees" nie, omdat "gee" n werkwoord is en as sulks nie n meervoud kan hê nie in Afrikaans. Die meervoud van die selfstandige naamwoord, "gees", is "geeste". The plural form of "gee" in afrikaans does not rexist, because "gee" is a verb and as such cannot have a plural form - not in Afrikaans. The noun "gees" means "spirit" in Afrikaans and the plural form of "gees" is "geeste".
