Does the French word « délice » really change its gender in the plural?? — My grammar says it is masculine in the singular and feminine in the plural. BUT Google Translate gives me: Ces gâteaux sont des délices spéciaux. (Réf.: L’Huillier 1999, 2.7.iv, p401.)

Thanks

Answer

I can't see where the problem in the plural we add the "S"

Answer

Great! Thanks for that.

Answer

Grevisse & Goosse, Nouvelle grammaire francaise, 1980; Robert (dictionnaire); and WordReference.com (using their own dictionary and Collins); all have masculine singular and feminine plural with subtle differences of meaning.

My guess is this detail is missing in Google's database.
