Yes, that's basically it.

To be honest the other posters have much more experience in Japanese than I do, and their advice was very accurate, so I can't really add anything to what's been said. Basically you can't pluralise in foriegn languages the same way you can in English. "Idiot" becomes "Idiots", but in Japanese there is no simple adding on an 's' to make a plural. "Baka" is both 'idiot' and 'idiots'. You can change the sentence itself, or adapt the word, as people have already said to make the plurarl more obvious, but there is no 'bakas'.
