用法筆記

Always used in the plural. Unlike 'loved ones', which is neutral and common, 'beloveds' carries a formal or slightly literary tone. The singular noun is 'a beloved' (one dear person), but the plural 'beloveds' is far more frequent in use.

常見錯誤

❌He sent gifts to all his beloveds ones.
✅He sent gifts to all his beloveds.
💡'Beloveds' already means 'beloved people'; adding 'ones' is redundant.
❌My beloveds dog passed away.
✅My beloved dog passed away.
💡'Beloved' is an adjective before a noun; 'beloveds' is a noun and does not modify another noun.
