I'm just wondering if the liaison is required or facultative with the adjective/ determinant plusieurs? I know how to pronounce it in general, but I can't seem to find any webpages that explain if it does also give a liaison.. Anybody know? Any relevant rules to this matter

Unless I'm forgetting some exception, I'd say liaison is required.
You ask about adjectives, though only a few adjectives could ever occur directly after plusieurs, like anciens, but you do get liaison there too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think he meant to say that it can be used as a determinant as well as an adjective.
About the liaison, it is indeed required at all times (if the latter word starts with a vowel or an H, obviously). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think it is required only if it qualifies something, in which case there's a liaison with it. But in "J'en ai plusieurs à la maison", plusieurs doesn't belong to the same noun group as "à la maison" and therefore doesn't link with à. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You're right!
I knew that there had to be an exception, I just couldn't find any. Thank you for your clarification. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey. Yes that is what I was was asking about, if plusieurs requires a liaison when it's part of the nominal group. Thanks for clearing that up!
