What is the correct spelling for the plural form of 'chassis',?

as in more than one chassis.



The way I understand the on-line dictionary is that it's only pronounced differently, but spelled the same as the singular form. This makes no sense when it's in a sentence.

Ex.

I have one chassis.

I have two chassis.

I have three chassis.



It just don't look right to me....What is the correct spelling for the plural form of 'chassis',?
yeah, it doesn't look right, but the important thing is that it IS right.



think about it, the plural of moose is moose...



I have one moose.

I have two moose.

I have three moose.
The word in both singular and plural is spelt the same as Chassis. However it is pronounced as Chassi or Chaassi. since the word when pronounced ends in an "i" sound in both singular and plural it was felt more convenient to say two "chaassi" or three "chaassi" or a "Chaassi" as the "ess" sound was not pronounced.What is the correct spelling for the plural form of 'chassis',?
the plural of chassis is chassis.



No, that isn't a typo.



Funny, huh?
Guess what, another stupid english rule. the Plural is ChassisWhat is the correct spelling for the plural form of 'chassis',?
Although both the singular and plural are spelt the same way - "chassis" from the same word in French - they are pronounced differently. The singular is 'shassi' while the plural is 'shasseez'. This does not happen in French but the word has been in English for nearly 400 years and has collected an English plural along the way - in pronunciation anyway.
