سوالات رایج (6)

No, Armenian is gender-neutral, which makes it much easier than French or German.
Add the suffix '-ը' or '-ն' to the end of the word.
It is a grammatical rule in Armenian that quantifiers make the noun plural in meaning, so the suffix is redundant.
Usually, the vowel rule takes precedence, so it would take -ներ.
No, they are invariant.
