The noun 'meat' is an uncountable (mass) noun, a word for something that is indivisible into countable units.

The plural noun 'meats' is a shortened form of 'kinds of' or 'types of' meat.

Units of uncountable nouns are expressed by adjectives or a partitive noun (also called a noun counter).

The noun 'meat' takes a verb for singular unless quantified in the plural; for example:

  • The meat is fresh at this market.
  • Gray meat is not fresh. (expressed by the adjective 'gray')
  • This piece of meat is fresh. (expressed by the singular partitive noun 'piece')
  • Both pieces of meat are fresh. (expressed by the plural partitive noun 'pieces')
  • The meats are priced per pound. (the kinds of meat)
