Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Armenian + Pronunciation
I speak one language [singular form] Ես խոսում եմ մեկ լեզվով: [Yes khosum yem mek lezvov]
we speak three languages [plural noun] Մենք խոսում ենք երեք լեզուներով: [Menk’ khosum yenk’ yerek’ lezunerov]
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] Նա բազմաթիվ երկրներ է այցելում: [Na bazmat’iv yerkrner e ayts’yelum]
