Good problem to have - what is plural of Mercedes?
 

Until recently I owned only a single Mercedes. Now I own two. With that change I encountered some verbal stumbling when I was trying to refer to my two in the plural. “Mercedeses” just sounded silly, as did “Benzes” (although it seemed a step up from “Mercedeses”). “Mercedi” (long I) sounds kind of cool. “Benzi” (again, long I) sounds like a medicine for something pretty nasty. So I’m still stumbling over this one. What is the plural of Mercedes Benz?
Thanks.

You just say:"I have two Mercedes". Another example would be "I have three Mercedes". I am sure you can take it from here.

What models do you have? Do you do your own work?

...Mercedes Benz, but benzo's might work out alright.

anything with a s after it gets an apostrophe.

Mercedes'

i say benzes

The apostrophe is used only for contractions and possessives, never to denote a plural.

As Ed McMahon would say: "You sir are correct". I guess the true plural would be Mercedes Benzes. I have three Mercedes Benzes.

I agree with the man from Ann Arbor. But that will not be the case on Nov. 18!

Multiple Money Pits ?:D

Mehr als ein Mercedes.

:D

Maybach.

Benzez.

Taken from an authority on multiple Benzez.

Mercedai.

You get used to it. Currantly I'm up to two. I think once I get out of school and a little money (and space!) my fleet may level out at three or so... they kind of collect.:D

Benzes is what all the older heads I know call them. Actually, it makes sense, as Mercedes was originally a specific model of the Benz.

You're close, having only forgotten the hyphen. It Mercedes-Benz, not Mercedes Benz.

You're close, having only forgotten the apostrophe in "It's"...

From time to time, for fun, I salt in a small taste of of Ebonics.

And remember, nobodys perfect.

And you're close, having, as most do, incorrectly used the ellipsis.

A conspiracy of Mercedes'.

So much closeness, and still, no Cigar.

A murder of Mercedes?

Mercedeses, in true gollum fashion.

I don't care what they are called. When people find out that I have three they think that I am wealthy. No......I just prefer these cars to much of the garbage that is out there. Besides, the years of these are 1999, 1985, and 1981. Hardly 'new'.

Ummmm it would be "I have 4 Mercedes cars" Unless of course you got an SUV or truck, the it should be I have a fleet of Mercedes.

Try this when people ask you what you drive, make is sound casual.

"I have a couple Mercedes."

Solves the problem nicely.:D

I usually say "Mercs".

Mercedi? That's a good one too.

..or, I have ten Mercedes.

Nice! :D
