Çoğul ekleri

 Çoğul ekleri (Plural suffixes)

For plural forms, we have two different suffixes. (-lar, -ler)

And also it depends on the last vowel which one has to be used.

A, I, O, U - lar

E, İ, Ö, Ü - ler

Masa (Table) - Masalar (Tables)

Öğrenci - Öğrenciler

Example : In the word of Üçgen (Triangle), the last vowel is "E". So if we want to use the plural form, it will be Üçgenler. 

Note : For the word "Saat" which means clock and hour in English, it will be "Saatler" in plural form. Because it is not a Turkish word and it is from Arabic as you can see there's two vowels next to each other.
