Turkish Plural Noun Formation Rule

Turkish uses vowel harmony to determine the plural suffix. The hint specifies treating 'a' and 'o' as back vowels and 'e' and 'i' as front vowels.

  • Nouns ending in a back vowel (like 'a', 'o') take the plural suffix $-lar$.
  • Nouns ending in a front vowel (like 'e', 'i') take the plural suffix $-ler$.

Applying the Rule to Nouns

Let's apply this rule to the words in rows 7-10:

  • ok (row 7): The vowel is 'o' (back vowel). The correct plural suffix is $-lar$. Plural form: oklar.
  • el (row 8): The vowel is 'e' (front vowel). The correct plural suffix is $-ler$. Plural form: eller.
  • zil (row 9): The vowel is 'i' (front vowel). The correct plural suffix is $-ler$. Plural form: ziller.
  • elma (row 10): The last vowel is 'a' (back vowel). The correct plural suffix is $-lar$. Plural form: elmalar.

Identifying the Correct Option

Combining these forms, the correct list is oklar, eller, ziller, elmalar. This matches Option 1.
