LingoflyPlurals: -եր / -ներ
A one-syllable word takes -եր, a longer one takes -ներ: միրգ becomes մրգեր (mrger), fruit; ուսանող (usanogh) becomes ուսանողներ, students. For example: “Երկու (yerku) սուրճ (surch), խնդրեմ” (khndrem) — Two coffees, please. A rule from the Armenian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
A one-syllable word takes -եր, a longer one takes -ներ: միրգ becomes մրգեր (mrger), fruit; ուսանող (usanogh) becomes ուսանողներ, students.
After a number the noun usually stays singular: երկու (yerku) սուրճ (surch) (yerku surch) is 'two coffees', even though two cups are coming. The number has already said how many, so the noun keeps quiet.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
