Etymology 1

From Old French plus, from Latin plus, from Old Latin *plous, from Proto-Indo-European *pleh?-, *pelh?u- (“many”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ply/ in its positive sense if followed by an adjective or an adverb not beginning with a vowel, and always in its negative sense (e.g. il est plus grand que moi, or je n'en peux plus)
• IPA^(key): /plyz?/ in the case of a liaison, i.e. if followed by an adjective or an adverb beginning with a vowel (e.g. tu dois être plus ambitieux)
• IPA^(key): /plys/ in its positive sense, when not followed by an adjective or an adverb (e.g. j'en ai plus que toi or avancez un peu plus, s'il vous plait)
• (Quebec, informal) IPA^(key): /py/ in its negative sense.

Adverb

plus

1. more, -er (used to form comparatives of adjectives)

2. more, -er (used to form comparatives of adverbs)

3. (after a verb) more, -er (indicating a higher degree or quantity)

Usage notes

• There may be some difficulty for non-native speakers to detect the negativity or positivity of "plus". The negative sense is generally used with a ne, but sometimes the "ne" is dropped in colloquial speech. Thus in certain cases, some speakers may choose to pronounce the final /s/ of a positive plus (as /plys/) in order to make a distinction.
