‘Journies’ or ‘Journeys’: What is the Plural of ‘Journey’?

journeys definition english

The word journey in its plural form is the source of some confusion. Many are unsure whether to spell it 'journies' or 'journeys.'

In this article, we will answer that question, and highlight the reason for the confusion, and cover the general plural rules in the English language.

Firstly, let's answer the question on everyone's lips and the main reason you're reading this article: is it 'journies' or 'journeys'?

The correct way to spell the plural of the word 'journey' is: 'journeys.'

It is never correct to spell it 'journies.'

Is it 'Journies' or 'Journeys'?

Let's begin by exploring a few ground rules around forming plurals of words.

How Do You Spell the Plural of 'Journey' - Is It 'Journies' or 'Journeys'?

As mentioned already, the plural of 'journey' is always 'journeys'.

Why Is There Confusion over Whether It's 'Journies' or 'Journeys'?

With words that end in "vowel+y," we add "s" at the end to create the plural form of the word.

So why is there confusion around this in the first place? Aren't the rules around plural word spellings reasonably straightforward?

Well, perhaps not.

The main rule is that when a word ends in 'y', to make the plural form, we must change the 'y' to 'ies.' For example:

  • Activity → activities
  • Cherry → cherries
  • Fly → flies

If we abide by this rule, the plural of 'journey' should be 'journies.'

Not so fast! There's a follow-up rule. This one applies to words with a vowel before that 'y' at the end.

Instead of changing the 'y' to 'ies,' leave the 'y' in and add an 's.'

As a reminder, here is the list of vowels in the English language: a, e, i, o, u.

Here are some examples:

  • Play → plays
  • Valley → valleys

Can you see then why the plural of 'journey' must be 'journeys'? Since the 'y' in the word is preceded by 'e' (a vowel), we must use the second rule to pluralize 'journey.'

The Standard Rules for Forming the Plurals

The rule for pluralizing words ending in 'y' and vowel + 'e' is, in fact, in agreement with the general rule for pluralizing all words: just add 's.'

Now that you are familiar with the rule for pluralizing words in general and the rule for pluralizing words ending in 'y', would you like to know the standard rules for other words? If so, read on.

Nouns Ending With S, SS, SH, CH, X, or Z

For these words, add 'es' to the end of the word to get the plural form. For example:

  • Box → boxes
  • Church → churches
  • Bus → buses

Sometimes, you need to double the 'z' at the end of the word before adding 'es.' Like in the following examples:

  • Quiz → quizzes
  • Fez ​​→ fezzes

Nouns Ending' O'

Add 's' or 'es' to pluralize words ending with 'o'. For example:

  • Piano → pianos
  • Video → videos
  • Volcano → volcanoes
  • Flamingo → flamingoes

With these words, there is no rule to determine which of the two it should be - 's' or 'es.' You simply have to memorize these.

Nouns Ending F or Fe

The rule for pluralizing words ending in 'f' or 'fe' states that these nouns should either end in 'ves' or 's.' Again, there's no rule to differentiate the two endings; you just have to know.

  • Dwarf → dwarves
  • Roof → roofs
  • Half → halves

To complicate the matter, some words do not follow any of the above rules. They either change entirely in the plural form or don't change at all. Here are some examples:

  • Bacterium → bacteria
  • Child → children
  • Moose → moose
  • Series → Series

Another time when the general rules don't apply is with words ending in 'is.' Though these words end in 's,' they don't follow the same rule. Instead, we change the 'is' to an 'es.' For example:

  • Thesis → theses
  • Analysis → analyses

Also, watch out for words that end in 'us.' Often, these need the 'us' removed, and an 'i' added on at the end. Yes, this is a bit of an odd one! For example:

  • Cactus → cacti
  • Alumnus → alumni

We appreciate that all this can seem quite confusing, but we don't want you to feel overwhelmed! If you're currently learning English as a language, rest assured that the more you read English, the more the correct pluralizations will stick to your mind, as you'll get used to seeing them. Over time, it will become automatic. It just takes a little practice!

And if you are a native English speaker, and are just trying to learn more about your language, now that you have learned the rules, you have become more aware and will now start to pay more attention to the different ways to pluralize words as you read. For you also, knowing the correct spellings will become automatic.

Meaning of the Word 'Journey'

Now that we've dived into the conventions around pluralizing words let's explore the word 'journey' and its meaning.

What Does It Mean?

The word 'journey' is a noun, and its simplest definition is the act of traveling from one place to another.

The term usually implies a somewhat extended period of time, unlike the word 'jaunt,' which is very similar in meaning but is more suited to describe a shorter expedition.

The word 'journey' can refer to a physical trip - traveling from one physical place to another, perhaps to spend a gap year, to go backpacking, or even on a pilgrimage. Here are a few examples of the word used in this sense:

  • To break up the journey, we stopped in a motel en route.
  • The journey from New York to Italy was reasonably smooth.
  • Have a safe journey!

But the word can also refer to a symbolic trip. This could be an emotional journey, a spiritual journey, or a professional journey. Or it can be, quite simply, a life journey. It is, in essence, the story of how you got to be where you are. Here are some examples of ways you can use the word in this sense:

  • I've been on my spiritual journey since I turned 30 years old.
  • This has been an incredible journey, but I'm glad it's over.
  • My professional journey to get here has been tumultuous, to say the least.

'Journey' in Verb Form

The word 'journey' can also take on a verb form without needing to change the word itself.

The verb 'journey' takes on the same meaning as the noun 'journey' - you can use it to refer to the act of going on a journey. Let's see some examples of this verb in action:

  • When you journey through Provence, keep an eye out for the lavender fields.
  • We're currently journeying south.
  • As I journeyed further and further away from home, my spirit began to feel free.

Synonyms of the Word' Journey'

Many words carry a similar meaning to 'journey' while still being somewhat nuanced in what they imply. Here are some of our favorite terms to refer to some kind of journey:

Some of these make us feel like we're in an Indiana Jones movie or a Tomb Raider video game! What about you?

Final Thoughts on 'Journies' or 'Journeys'

Hopefully, this article has helped clarify the meaning of the word 'journey' for you and the correct spelling.

To summarize, the plural of the noun 'journey' is always 'journeys.' It is never correct to spell it 'journies.' This would be considered incorrect.

Furthermore, the word can be used both as a noun and a verb.

a doctor is putting a plaster on the arm of a smiling child who has just been vaccinated - illustrating the concept of an inverse vaccine

inverse vaccine noun [C] UK /ˌɪn.vɜːs ˈvæk.siːn/ US /ɪnˌvɝːs vækˈsiːn/ a type of vaccine that stops the body from attacking and damaging its own healthy cells and tissues

It will take time before inverse vaccines are available for patients, but initial trials have already been conducted on people with coeliac disease, with encouraging results … If inverse vaccines could be developed for all autoimmune illnesses, it would be a real revolution, as we have said, because we would be able to switch off inappropriate reactions in a highly specific and definitive way. [ibsafoundation.org, 28 September 2023]

zero-dose adjective UK /ˌzɪə.rəʊˈdəʊs/ US /ˌzɪr.oʊˈdoʊs/ a zero-dose child is one who has never received any of the routine vaccinations that most children are given

Since 2019, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of zero-dose children globally due to COVID-19 disruptions, increased economic crises and conflict, and declines in vaccine confidence … To turn the tide on this unprecedented increase in zero-dose children, it is essential to know who and where these children are so we can reach every child with life-saving vaccinations. [data.unicef.org, April 2023]

tarmac-to-arm adjective UK /ˌtɑː.mæk.tuˈɑːm/ US /ˌtɑːr.mæk.tuˈɑːm/ tarmac-to-arm refers to the process involved in getting vaccines and other medicines delivered to the place where they are needed and given to the people who need them

According to assessments by the charity CARE, the average “tarmac-to-arm” delivery costs for a single vaccine dose is $9.97 in South Sudan, equivalent to 40% of the country’s per capita pre-pandemic expenditure on healthcare. [pharmaceutical-technology.com, 22 June 2022]

Ireland votes to eliminate definition of women’s ‘duties in the home’ from the constitution

On international women’s day, the country will decide whether to amend a very conservative text that the vatican was consulted on.

Ireland women’s ‘duties

A referendum is always carried by the devil, no matter how angelic its purpose may be. The Irish government has expressed its fear that a high abstention rate will cause the “no” vote to prosper in Friday’s consultation to eliminate two articles from the constitution that carry chauvinistic and conservative tones not at all in accordance with the spirit of the current republic. The apathy of the traditional parties when it comes to campaigning, the confusion in the proposed changes, and the lack of interest among many voters on an issue that they consider dated could end up causing an unpleasant surprise in the eventual result.

“I think a no vote would be a setback for the country, quite frankly. It would say to a lot of people, hundreds of thousands of people and children, that they’re not in a family as far as our constitution is concerned. And that would be a step backwards, I think. It would also mean in relation to care that the very old-fashioned language about women in the home and mothers’ duties in the home would be maintained,” said Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Bucharest, where he was attending the European People’s Party summit on Thursday.

The two proposed constitutional reforms affect three paragraphs of a specific article. The so-called “Care Amendment,” undoubtedly the most offensive to feminist groups, aims to change the current text to remove the reference to the exclusive role of women at home, as the fundamental provider of that care.

The current text reads:

Article 41.2.1°

“In particular, the State recognizes that by her life within the home, woman gives to the State a support without which the common good cannot be achieved.”

Article 41.2.2°

“The State shall, therefore, endeavor to ensure that mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labor to the neglect of their duties in the home.”

The referendum proposes eliminating Article 41.2.1º and replacing with a new text, Article 42B, which reads:

“The State recognizes that the provision of care, by members of a family to one another by reason of the bonds that exist among them, gives to Society a support without which the common good cannot be achieved, and shall strive to support such provision.”

The accommodation to the new social reality of Ireland intended in the proposed constitutional reform also requires the construction of a new legal definition of family that is not circumscribed to that of mere marriage. To give an idea of the anachronism of the Magna Carta, it is sufficient to recall that Ireland approved same-sex marriage in 2015.

The so-called “Family Amendment” seeks to amplify this concept.

Article 41.1.1°

“The State recognizes the Family as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law.”

The referendum proposes modifying that text slightly, and in doing so notably alters the spirit of the article:

“The State recognizes the Family, whether founded on marriage or on other durable relationships , as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law.”

The long arm of the Vatican

The current constitutional text was supervised, and practically written, in 1937 by Éamon de Valera, the most relevant nationalist politician in the history of the Republic of Ireland. It replaced the previous text of 1922, that of the Constitution of the Irish Free State, to remove any recognition of the Anglo-Irish treaty that granted independence to part of Ireland — and allowed Northern Ireland to exercise its right not to form part of it — and to include the aspiration for a single and united Ireland.

John Charles McQuaid, who became the Archbishop of Dublin three years later, played an important role in the drafting of the text. De Valera allowed constant interference by the Catholic Church in state affairs and social life, and the constitutional draft was twice sent to the Vatican for suggestions or corrections.

An overwhelming majority of the Irish parliament backed the reform proposal to be voted on this Friday, and it is to be assumed that a vast majority of society embraces some of the advances that have already been incorporated into the mentality and customs of the country over the course of a decade. But there are always extremist minorities and even left-wing factions or those who supposedly defend the rights of women have issued confusing messages, such as the fact the new text will erase the sacrifices made for many years by women who, they claim, wanted to be housewives. Or the idea of granting family status to temporary relationships of little stability.

None of these objections would have any practical legal consequence, and they are more than debatable in their logic, but they have served to complicate the debate and keep the government in suspense. It is expected the result of the referendum will be announced early Saturday afternoon, when it will become known if Ireland has taken a step forward in defense of women or suffered an unnecessary legal setback.
