leafs

/liːfs/

nounverbleafs

Think: one leaf, two leafs—just add an “s” to leaf when you mean separate pages or when using the verb (she leafs through).

Yes, it's leafs. Don’t change the F to V here—“leafs” keeps the F sound (/f/), unlike the more common plural “leaves.”

Definitions

  1. nounPlural of leaf (less common than leaves); pages or sheets of paper in a book, especially when referring to them as separate leaves.
  2. verbThird-person singular of leaf: to turn pages in a book or magazine; to produce leaves (of a plant).
