"Two teeth"

Translation: दो दाँत

[_decca_]

Why not the plural दांतों ?

[Zesul]

दाँतों is the plural oblique of दाँत. In the direct case, masculine nouns that end in a consonant (दाँत, हाथ, घर, पहाड़, शेर, etc.) don't have a distinct plural form.

Ohhhh wow so.many rules!!!

I more or less understand Zesul's answer about sing./pl. case and the relationship if it is in the oblique case; however, is there a way to determine whether to use "daant" or "daanton"? I keep getting it right, but I don't know why.

[Zesul]

Here's the rule: use दातों for plural when there is a postposition.

The teeth are white. - दाँत सफ़ेद हैं।
The colour of the teeth is white. - दातों का रंग सफे़द है।

But four eyes was translated as chaar aanko.
Why??

[Zesul]

There must have been a postposition after "eyes". "Four eyes" in and of itself is translated as चार आँख. "In the four eyes", on the other hand, would be चार आँखों में.
