Países

Does 'país' keep the accent in the plural?
Is the correct word 'países?

Many thanks in advance.

[Rusty]

Yes, the accent mark is still needed in the plural.

Thanks so much, Rusty.

The accent there is to break the diphthong; "i" is a "weak" vowel that becomes "strong" with the accent, so it becomes a syllable by itself.
