English term or phrase: The cats killed many mice last week.
How do you say "The cats killed many mice last week" in Armenian?

Could I please have the translation in romanized letters also?

I know that katu is "cat" in Armenian and several other languages of the Caucasus region, however I know nothing about the forms using the plural and definite article

Thanks in advance for the help. Really appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Brian Costello

Katuner' antsyal shabat shat mkner en spanel.


Explanation:
ner-makes katu plural.
definite article "the" - is letter "ը" . There is no roman letter that coinsids with this letter, hence I wrote it like this '.
mouse -muk
mice -mkNER.

Let me know if you have any questions.
