====Usage notes====
* The normal plural is ''kinderen'' (a double plural combining the endings ''-er'' (archaic) and ''-en'', also found in a few other neuter nouns). The form ''kinders'' is heard colloquially, often also humorously.
* In compounds, the word can take the form ''kinder-'' or ''kind-'' as a tail. The former is used more often, however.
* The dimunitive ''kindelijn'' is now archaic, but can still be found in some fossilized songs and religious texts.
