-i1
suffix forming the plural.
  • 1 of nouns adopted from Latin ending in -us: foci.
  • 2 of nouns adopted from Italian ending in -e or -o: dilettanti.
usage: Many nouns derived from a foreign language retain their foreign plural, at least when they first enter English and particularly if they belong to a specialist field. Over time, it is normal for a word in general use to acquire a regular English plural. This may coexist with the foreign plural (e.g. cactus, plural cacti or cactuses) or it may actually oust a foreign plural (octopus, plural octopuses rather than octopodes).

In informal and spoken contexts the normal alternative is you, as in you have to do what you can, don't you?
