Usage Note
Nos is the plural of the possessive notre, used before any plural noun regardless of gender, as in nos amis or nos idées. French marks the number of the thing owned rather than the owner, so one family still says nos enfants for their several children.
Examples
"Nos amis arrivent."
Natural Translation
Our friends are arriving.
