PluralizationService.IsSingular Method

public abstract bool IsSingular(
	string word
)

Parameters

word: Type: System.String
The value to be analyzed.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the word is singular; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The PluralizationService class applies English rules for constructing plural and singular forms of words. To extend the service to other languages, use the PluralizationService on the EntityModelSchemaGenerator class.

Both the IsSingular() and IsPlural() methods can return true for the same word. For example, both methods will return true for the word "fish".
