Learn how intelligent the octopus is in 6 minutes! xj91zdk7: In fact, most English dictionaries I've looked up (Cambridge, Longman, Mirriam-Webster, MacMillan) give the plural of octopus as octopuses or octopi. Though the Oxford Dictionary says: The standard plural in English of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek and the Greek plural form octopodes is still occasionally used. The plural form octopi, formed according to rules for some Latin plurals, is incorrect.

I think plural form of octopus is octopuses. I asked some of native speakers and they said that they often used octopuses to describe the plural form of octopus. It's okay to use octopuses. Octopodes is derived from Greek, it's true, but we rarely use octopodes in real life.
