Spelling Rules for Plural Nouns

When a noun ends with ه pronounced "a", the ه can optionally be changed into گ before the plural آن:

"writers" نویسندگان - "writer" نویسنده

Nowadays in the written form, it is becoming a rule to retain ه and add the گ:

"writers" نویسنده گان

"specialists" خبره گان

If the plural آن is added to a noun ending in vowels ا or و , then insert ی before the plural ending:

"gentlemen" آقایان - "gentleman"آقا

"truthful persons" راستگویان - "truthful person" راستگو
