Frequently asked questions

Q1: Why does this page use "momos" for the plural of "momo"?

A1: Because several reliable and well-edited sources inside and outside of Nepal have used "momos" for the plural, including The Kathmandu Post, the Times of India, and the New York Times. (Due to the Great Firewall, contributions from Tibet are lacking.) Some comments have cast this as an India vs. Nepal issue, but many Nepali sources are inconsistent in their use of "momo" or "momos", even within a single article. Information on why this issue is so contentious would be useful.

Momo is never called Momos.

Momo is a proper name. Although it is in plural form, it is never called Momos. Most people get it wrong, especially Indians.117.20.68.221 (talk) 21:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who gets it right, then? Apocheir (talk) 22:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@117.20.68.221 You are right. Momo does not have a plural form and anyone using "Momos" is simply saying the wrong name. Thus, Wikipedia should correctly label it as Momo and not Momos. FateXBlood (talk) 14:41, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your userpage says you're Nepali. The first commenter implies that Indians especially tend to use "momos". Is that the conflict, between Nepal and India? Apocheir (talk) 20:41, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Labeling as whole India would be wrong, most people from Dehli started this misuse of the word and now gradually people are acknowleding it. And I don't know why still wikipedia is using the word momos with a note. That is just promotion of misinformation with a note. Bishal Rawal88 (talk) 11:00, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change all Momos to momo as momo itself is a plural word. 2404:7C00:4A:168F:493A:762B:CA67:7710 (talk) 02:20, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Momo is momo not momos. If you are referring to Nepali style momo then it is momo. Not momos if you want to add ‘s’ plural then just say dumplings. Because momo is Nepali word. It’s not English. So stop posting momos to momo. 49.131.146.33 (talk) 16:15, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In nepal MOMO is authentic word. Momos... I have heared with some indian friends. Even I asked them why momos?, then why not rices for bowl of rice?

they were still debating on counting pices. Language do not have 100% fixed rules.

Hope can correct the authentic word "momo" everywhere. Maitighar (talk) 13:08, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the name from Momos to Momo. Momo is itself plural. Wikkkeieditor (talk) 17:49, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: there is already a note that explains that some speakers of South Asian English use "momo" as the plural form. M.Bitton (talk) 18:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
