鹿を英語で?

Nov 16, 2024

At the Dai Nagoya Building, there is a beautiful winter wonderland scene at the moment. It includes figures of deer (鹿). Most animal names are usual countable nouns (可算名詞). For example:
 
A cat.
Two cats.
Some cats. 
 
An elephant.
Three elephants.
A lot of elephants.
 
Deer is also a countable noun. However, it doesn't use  "s" for more than one deer. 
 
A deer.
Five deer. 
Many deer.
 
Other examples are:
 
A sheep.
One hundred sheep.
A few sheep.
 
A fish.
Twenty fish.
So many fish.
