phenomenon, phenomena
A phenomenon is an observed or observable fact or circumstance, especially one that seems extraordinary or impressive: "The phenomenon of a man kissing his dog rather than his wife is not readily explainable." The plural is phenomenons or, preferably, phenomena: "This ecologist never tired of studying the phenomena of nature." It is nonstandard to say phenomenas and "This phenomena is."
