Could I say "Castle on moutain.", "I love mountain." without articles
when "mountain" does not name specific mountain that doesn't exist in real?
Do I use articles in front of "mountain" without exceptions?
How about this sentence? "Castle on mt.", "Clouds on mt.", "I love mt.",
"I went to mt. yesterday." Could I use "mt" with no name?
 
No to everything. When you name a mountain, Mount functions like Mister and other titles: it's part of the name. When you don't name it and you're speaking of only one mountain, you have to say the or a mountain.

Hello nousername, and welcome to the forum. :)
Please provide full sentences in your future posts if you can. Also, pay attention to your spelling.

No, you should not abbreviate the ordinary noun "mountain" to "mt."

Finally, note that it's "doesn't exist in real life."
 
Thnaks for all the replies!
There's one more question I'd like to ask.
Could I say "Castle on mountains.", "I love mountains."
instead of "Castle on the mountains.", "I love the mountains"

I reiterate: please provide full sentences. A sentence needs a main verb.
