Plurals: -եր / -ներ
A one-syllable word takes -եր, a longer one takes -ներ: միրգ becomes մրգեր, fruit; ուսանող becomes ուսանողներ, students. For example: “Երկու սուրճ, խնդրեմ” — 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 սուրճ (yerku surch) is 'two coffees', even though two cups are coming. The number has already said how many, so the noun keeps quiet.
By example
- Երկու սուրճ, խնդրեմyerku surch, khndremTwo coffees, please
- Մրգեր կա՞նmrger kan?Are there any fruits?
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.
