"What's the plural of journey?"

Which is Correct: Journeys or Journies?

The correct plural form of the word "journey" is "journeys." Although "journies" may seem like a logical pluralization, it is not accepted or recognized in standard English usage.

Nouns ending in a vowel + -y form their plural by simply adding -s to the end of the word. This is why the plural of journey is journeys and not journies.

Is Journey a Countable or Uncountable Noun?

The word "journey" is considered a countable noun. Countable nouns are objects or entities that can be counted as separate units or individuals. Each journey represents a distinct travel experience or specific trip, and its plural form "journeys" reflects this countability.

You can use numerical quantifiers such as "one journey," "two journeys," "three journeys," and so on to specify the quantity of journeys.

Countable nouns have both singular and plural forms and can be used with articles like "a" or "an" for singular nouns and "the" for plural nouns. For example, you would say "a journey" when referring to a single travel experience and "the journeys" when referring to multiple trips or adventures.

Collective Noun for a Group of Journeys

In English, there isn't a widely recognized specific collective noun dedicated to a group of journeys. However, you can use the term "collection" or "series" to refer to a group of journeys that share a common theme, purpose, or destination. These terms can convey the idea of multiple journeys being grouped or connected in some way.

For example, you could say "a collection of journeys exploring ancient civilizations" or "a series of journeys through remote wilderness areas."
