French question.. plural?
 
If seche-cheveux is hair dryer in french. How do you make it plural?
Thanks

Edit: Is "step-father" in plural "beaux-peres" or "beau peres"?

Sorry I haven't been learning French for a long time but I think it's maybe seches-cheveaux ^^

what about 'Beau-pere' One place I have looked says it is 'Beaux-peres' and another place said it was 'beau-peres' So I don't know which one it is :S

«If seche-cheveux is hair dryer in french. How do you make it plural?»

It ends with a "x", so it's already plural (cheveu: singular, cheveux: plural). When it's a verb(sèche or drying)+name(cheveux or hair), it doesn't change wheter or not it is singular or plural.

Scoob94P: Just just wrote horse dryer:p

Here's a link (in french) that explain how to conjugate composed name:
