Cainye employs several pluralizing particles, that are all pre-particles, that come before nouns or pronouns to express number.

The most common of the two are qángam and qáuyò, both are inherited from Phúkìming's chángam and cháujò respectively, in meaning and usage. What differentiates them is that the former is used for "older" things (like trees and rocks), and the latter is used for "younger" things (like fruit and pebbles); this also applies for "bigger" and "smaller" things. Despite this, both can be used to do the same thing, express number of a noun or pronoun larger than 1.

Qángam and qáuyò are also the "large-plural" particles, when trucated to qá and qáu they express a "small-plural", the difference between the two forms can be summed up as "a bunch or more" and "a few or less" respectively.

Jìn qá jei
"Seven mountains."

Jôtgit qáuyò rên
"30 people."

The next particles are géi and môsúp, "all" and "none" respectively. The former also makes nouns collectives, and the latter is the equivalent of saying "nothing" or "no [nouns]", see the examples below.

Géi hóuqâuyóng
"Every university."

Môsúp rên pà kù
"No person (no one) wanted that."

Mensural classifiers may serve as de facto particles:

Jôt wàuwàu xonûng
"Three sacks of rice."
