In Turkish, nouns following a number are always singular. For example, "three cars" translates literally as "three car" (üç araba).
Asking "How many?"
To ask "how many", use the question word kaç. The noun following kaç also remains singular.
| How many students are tired? | Kaç öğrenci yorgun? |
| Two students are tired. | İki öğrenci yorgun. |

| 4 | dört |
| 5 | beş |
| 6 | altı |
| 7 | yedi |
| 8 | sekiz |
