Hibachis

/hɪˈbɑtʃiz/ noun

Definition

plural of hibachi; multiple small portable Japanese-style grills.

Etymology

The plural of hibachi, formed regularly in English by adding the '-s' suffix, though the original Japanese term doesn't change for plurality.

Kelly Says

This is a great example of how English simply absorbs borrowed words and applies its own grammar rules—Japanese doesn't have an 's' plural, but English speakers instantly made 'hibachis' their own!
