Neuter nouns. Plural

A neuter noun refers in general to a thing or an inanimate object. The neuter nouns are
masculine in the singular and feminine in the plural. A native speaker of Romanian knows that
an inanimate word takes in the singular the masculine numeral "un" and in the plural the
feminine numeral "dou".

Examples: untelefon dou telefoane (one phone two phones), un scaun dou scaune
(one chair two chairs), un pix dou pixuri (one pen two pens).
The plural endings for a neuter noun can be: -e,-uri,-i.
These endings can be added to the final letter of the neuter noun (bilete,dansuri) or it can
replace the last vowel of the noun in the singular (lucru lucruri, fluviu fluvii, teatru teatre).
