It is writing "yumurta":(singular). "Yumurtalar":(plural)

"Yumurta yer" can be "He eats an egg" or "He eats eggs".

It's not eggs. It should be "an egg" or just "egg". Because yumurta is a singular word.

General/indefinite objects can be translated to English as singular or plural. "Alex yumurtalar yer" is incorrect, no matter how many eggs he has for breakfast :-)

Alex eats egg and drinks soup at the restaurant was apparently wrong. Why though?

"Alex eats egg" does not make sense in English. Either "Alex eats an egg" or "eats eggs."

Egg is a countable noun and requires and article.
