koi
This term refers specifically to the ornamental carp bred for their vivid colors and patterns. In a horticultural or aquatic context, it carries a connotation of serenity, luxury, and aesthetic curation, often associated with Japanese garden design.
Grammatically, the word is an invariant noun. The singular and plural forms are identical, meaning "one koi" and "ten koi" are both correct. Using "kois" is generally considered non-standard or incorrect in professional aquatic and linguistic contexts.
