In German, there are no short rules as to how the majority of nouns are formed. Of course there are rules, but it would be very complicated to learn and apply these rules. The good news is that dictionaries often specify the plural form of a noun.
Here in our Skill Builder, we are also mentioning the plural for every new noun.

! Note:“Geschirr” means all things (plates, cups, glasses …) together, that’s why you use this word in singular although you mean many things.

Correct Wrong AnsweredAsk for help - get help with something:
It seems that Austrians and Germans think it's most polite to let people be at peace, not interfere and not get involved unless they need it or are asked for it.
You can not automatically count people asking if you're lost or helping you carry your stuff. They assume you'll be in control of it. But if you need help, you just have to ask - Germans as well as Austrians really want to help.
