Grammatically, kesici is the base form. The plural nominative is kesiciler. The accusative plural is kesicileri, the genitive plural kesicilerin, and the dative plural kesicilere. Examples: Kesicileri dikkatli kullanın. (Use the cutters carefully.) Çeşitli kesicileri mutfakta bulabilirsiniz. (You can find various cutters in the kitchen.)
