One-syllable words take -եր, longer words -ներ: միրգ → մրգեր (mrker) — mirg → mrger (fruits); usanogh → usanoghner (students). For example: “Երկու սուրճ, խնդրեմ” (yergu surj, khntrem) — Two coffees, please. A rule from the Western Armenian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
One-syllable words take -եր, longer words -ներ: միրգ → մրգեր (mrker) (mrker) — mirg → mrger (fruits); usanogh → usanoghner (students).
After a number the noun usually stays singular: yergu girk — "two book".
By example
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.
