PLURAL-ÇOĞUL

Nouns are made plural by adding that plural suffixes -lar or-ler, according to the rules of vowel harmony (if the last vowel of the noun word is a, ı, o or u add -lar, if it is e, i, ö or ü add -ler).

kitap   kitaplar  araba            arabalar 

book   books Car               cars

As bir  refers to singularity, it is not used with plurals.

bir araba= a car                arabalar=cars              bir otobüs= a bus         otobüsler=buses

BUNLAR, ŞUNLAR, ONLAR

We have already seen bu, şu and o as the singular pronouns, now the forms bunlar, şunlar and onlar are introduced.

bu    bunlar-- şu    şunlar-- o      onlar

this  these -- that  those -- it      they

As you can see, in order to make plurals with bu, şu and o, the letter n is added before the plural siffix-lar

bu-n-lar,  şu-n-lar,  o-n-lar

To make Bu bir evdir plural, bu changes to bunlar, ev to evler, and bir is omitted

Bu bir evdir.= This a house                       Bunlar evlerdir.=These are houses
