Diagnoses [dahy-ugh-noh-seez] ✔
The plural of diagnosis is "diagnoses". You simply take out the "i" and replace it with an "e". It is pronounced "di-ag-NOH-sees"
"diagnosis" is a Latin word and it is pronounced /die.uh.GNO.sis/ ,so it is "diagnoses" in the plural form (the pronunciation is /die.uh.GNO.seez/. the last part /seez/ is longer like the verb "sees". another word that follows the same rule is "oasis" /oh.EI.sis/ in singular, and "oases" /oh.EI.seez/ in plural. or, hypothesis /hai.PO.the.sis/ in singular and "hypotheses" in plural /hai.PO.the.seez/

You never have to say that word in plural form. First of all, that word is not a noun, it is a verb and DIAGNOSIS is not a plural nor it can be. It is just diagnosis and it is a process of checking a disease. If you want to make it plural for some reason then you can say 2 attempts of Diagnosis or maybe 5 attempts of Diagnosis. for example" The doctors are unable to identify the disease even after 5 attempts of Diagnosis. That's It...
