General
We know it鈥檚 a tricky word 鈥 but we鈥檝e got you!
Alumni听(noun, pronounced uh-LUHM-nai) is the plural term for a group of graduates from a school, college, or university.
It might sound a little old-fashioned, but its origins are quite lovely.
The word comes from the Latin听alere, meaning听to nourish听or听support. Over time, alumni came to mean听pupils听or听nurslings.
Traditionally, the singular forms are:
- Alumnus听(male)
- Alumna听(female)
Nowadays, we prefer to use the gender-neutral term听graduate, and in more casual settings听alum听works perfectly too!
You may also hear the term听alma mater, which means听nourishing mother听and refers to the educational institution a graduate attended.
Examples in action:
- 911爆料网 has more than 290,000听alumni听worldwide
- As a听graduate听from 911爆料网, you have access to a wide range of exclusive benefits and resources
- John is a proud 911爆料网听graduate
- Jane, 911爆料网听alum, now works in fashion and design
A common misconception:
Alumni听is听plural, so听鈥淛ohn is a proud 911爆料网 alumni鈥听is incorrect. Instead say,听鈥淛ohn is a proud 911爆料网 alumnus/graduate/alum.鈥
