What is GLOVE and GLOVES in Russian? Singular and plural nouns

GLOVE in its singular form is ПЕРЧАТКА [PYER-CHAHT-KAH]

Plural form in Russian is formed by adding Ы or И to masculine and feminine nouns, however one needs to remember about 7 letter spelling rule: if the word ends with consonants К, Г, Х, Ш, Щ, Ж, Ч then the ending will be soft И, and not Ы

So plural form GLOVES in Russian would be ПЕРЧАТКИ [PYER-CHAHT-KEE]

Listen to my audio file teaching to pronounce both singular and plural forms of the word "GLOVE" in Russian: http://www.box.net/shared/qkp2t0nxe3
