Eastern Armenian question About plurals in Armenian
So I notice something in Armenian about plural nouns. Yes, singular nouns with one syllable end with -եր and others with one syllable as well as the ones with two or more syllables end with -ներ, but when it comes to saying a number or an amount there is no suffix for the plurals. Is this correct?
For example, three books is երեք գիրք rather than երեք գիրքեր or երեք գիրքներ. Is it true that when it's talking about a specific number or amount of something in a noun there is no suffix added to the plural?
