Use bulut to describe a cloud and talk about changing weather.
The idea
Bulut means cloud. Bulutlar means clouds; the plural suffix is -lar after the back vowel u. Bulutu marks a specific cloud as the direct object. After a number, use singular bulut: iki bulut.
Examples
- Koyu bir bulut yaklaşıyor.A dark cloud is approaching.
- Bulutlar güneşi kapattı.The clouds have covered the sun.
- Şu bulutu gökyüzünde görüyorum.I see that cloud in the sky.
- Dağın üstünde iki beyaz bulut var.There are two white clouds above the mountain.
- Rüzgâr bulutları hareket ettiriyor.The wind is moving the clouds.
- Bugün gökyüzü bulutlu.The sky is cloudy today.

Watch out
Do not add the plural ending after a number: say iki bulut, not iki bulutlar. Bulutlu means cloudy and describes the sky or weather.
