Plurals in Armenian

We have already used a few words in the plural, but so far we have worked mostly with singular nouns. Let us study the formation of plurals. The great majority of nouns form their plural by adding -ներ if the word is multi-syllabic, and -եր if they are monosyllabic. The chart below summarizes the formation of plurals.

There are a few irregular plurals, which are listed below:
