When using a number in front of a noun, the noun is always in its singular form, so it does not receive the plural suffix -lEr.
| Two cats are playing in the garden. | Bahçede iki kedi oynuyor. |
Turkish speakers often use the word tane between a number and a noun, meaning something like pieces of. The word tane is also used when the noun is left out altogether.
| Six eggs please. | Altı tane yumurta lütfen. |
| I want five. | Beş tane istiyorum. |
Besides numbers, several quantifiers can be used to indicate amounts. In general, nouns are also in their singular form after these quantifiers.
There is an exception however. When a noun follows the quantifier bazı it is normally followed by the plural suffix.
| Two cats are playing in the garden. | Bahçede iki kedi oynuyor. |
| Some dogs are very small. | Bazı köpekler çok küçük. |
| There are several cats. | Birkaç kedi var. |
| There are a lot of cats in the garden. | Bahçede birçok kedi var. |
| There is no cat. | Kedi yok. |
| There is not any cat at all. | Hiç kedi yok. |
| There is not a single cat. | Hiçbir kedi yok. |
