Nouns in Aarlaansk can be either '''common''' or '''neuter''': the previously masculine and feminine genders have merged into the common one, whereas the neuter has remained the same. Nouns have got two forms: '''singular''', that indicates one object, person, animal, concept, and so forth, and '''plural''', that indicates more than one object, person, animal, concept, and so on.


Generally the plural is formed with the terminations:
Generally the plural is formed with the termination ''-s'', but if the noun ends already with an '-s', then no further ending is added, that is the singular and the plural forms are the same.
 
1) ''-s'', if the noun ends with a vowel or ''-l'', ''-n'', ''-r'';
 
2) ''-e'', if the noun ends with a consonant (except ''-l'', ''-n'', ''-r'').
 
The substantives that end with ''-f'' or ''-s'' mutate ''f'' into ''v'' and ''s'' into ''z'', ex.: ''zilf'', "wood, forest", has got a plural ''zilve'', "woods, forests"; ''tens'', "time", has got a plural ''tenze'', "times".

Some nouns show some changes in their structure:
* ''zylf'' > ''zylve'';
* ''baas'' > ''baze''.
This is due to the phonetic rules: in the word ''zylf'', the ''f'' becomes voiced due to its position between a voiced consonant and a vowel, so ''zylf'' becomes ''zylve''.
The last word, ''baas'', shows a change in the written form of the long vowel and at the same time a voicing of the last consonant.
