I think "Ешь много лука" is much better.
What's an uncount noun? Just one that is never used in the plural?Quote:

Ahhh, makes sense.
You should study English grammar more carefully. The words you gave (except beer) are regarded as countable nouns in English. They are just always plural. What's more, moose can be both singular and plural. Beer is a uncountable noun. But you can sometimes use it as if it isn't. For example,Quote:
English equivalents would be things like deer, moose, beer, etc.
-I'd like two beers please.
Therefore, лук can be seen as an uncount noun - that's to say, you can't use it in the plural.
Луковица is just one object. Лук is onions in general.
Saibot just got PWN3DQuote:

But, it was a good pwning. I learned something. Thanks red! :D
So then things like love, hate, anger, fear would be better examples?
Yes, but there is a difference between:
Water, beer, paper, string
and
Love, hate, fear, bad breath
The first group are physical uncountable nouns the second group are abstract uncountable nouns.
What's about "I have many fears?"Quote:

I have only two fears, death and falling into the toilet.
You are right. Fear is a countable noun. Saibot, please revise your list :D
Gawd! Can I never win? :(Quote:
