 In [[lessons:nouns|previous lesson]] about nouns we discussed that Nûrlâm does not differentiate between singular and plural nouns, and we learned how to clarify that noun is singular using the articles. But while nouns are plural by default, like "uruk" probably means more than one "orc", it's recommended to clarify that noun is plural anyway. We can specify the exact quantity using the //numerals// or use the words substituting exact numbers with words referring to uncertain quantity or amount (such words are called "quantifiers"). In [[lessons:nouns|previous lesson]] about nouns we discussed that Nûrlâm does not differentiate between singular and plural nouns, and we learned how to clarify that noun is singular using the articles.
