plural nouns ne demek?

Plural nouns, or çoğul isimler in Turkish, are nouns that refer to more than one person, animal, thing, or idea. In Turkish, there are several ways to form plural nouns:

1. Adding "-ler" or "-lar" suffix:

For most nouns, the plural suffix "-ler" is added to the end of the singular form. However, if the last vowel of the singular noun is u, ı, o, or a, the plural suffix "-lar" is added instead.

Examples:

• elma (apple) - elmalar (apples)
• kitap (book) - kitaplar (books)
• çocuk (child) - çocuklar (children)
• gözlük (glasses) - gözlükler (glasses)

2. Changing the vowel harmony:

With some nouns, the vowel sounds in the singular form change to add the plural suffix

Examples:

• ev (house) - evler (houses)
• ayak (foot) - ayaklar (feet)
• bardak (glass) - bardaklar (glasses)

3. Irregular plural forms:

Some nouns have irregular plural forms, meaning they don't follow the usual rules for forming plurals. Some examples in Turkish include:

• insan (person) - insanlar (people)
• kardeş (sibling) - kardeşler (siblings)
• süt (milk) - sütler (milks)

In general, there are many rules and exceptions to forming plural nouns in Turkish. It's important to practice and memorize these rules to improve your fluency in the language.
