Usage notes

• The normal plural in writing is Jungen, although the colloquial Jungs is also sometimes seen.
• The third plural Jungens is not all too frequent and chiefly restricted to northern and (parts of) central Germany.
• Even with the irregular plurals (Jungs, Jungens) the singular declension is always weak (thus with -n in the oblique cases of the singular).
