ADJECTİVES

>>In Turkish, adjectives come before the nouns:
güzel ev (pretty house)
çirkin kız (ugly girl)
>>Comparative form: The comparative degree of an adj. Or an adv. is formed by placing “DAHA”(more) in front of the adj and the adv.
İyi (good) => daha iyi (better) ; daha iyi kız (better girl)
Büyük (big) => daha büyük (bigger)
>>Superlative form: The superlative degree of an adj. Or adv. is formed by placing “EN”(most) in front of the adj. or the adv.
Küçük (small) => en küçük
Yavaş (slow) => en yavaş
>>Interrogative Form of Adj.s: (Subj.)+adj.+-mI*?
Güzel mi? (Is it pretty?)
*”-mI” is question suffix; it’s always written seperately, like an individual word. The vowel in “-mI” changes depending on the vowel in the last syllable of the word:
>after “a,ı” => -mı
>after “e,i” => -mi
>after “o,u” => -mu
>after “ö,ü” => -mü
The Negative Form of Adjectives (adj.+değil)
>> güzel değil ( (It’s) not pretty)
****Special usage; not applicable to all adjectives=> adj.+-lI(-lı, -li, -lu, -lü) (for positive) ; adj.+-sIz(-sız, -siz, -suz, -süz) (for negative)
akıl-lı (clever) ó akıl-sız (stupid)
güç-lü (strong) ó güç-süz (weak)
Demonstrative Adjectives
Bu (this) => bu kız (this girl)
Şu (that) => şu ev (that house)
O (that) => o çocuk (that child)
# All these are also used in plural forms like “bu çocuklar” (these children). As you see, while forming adj.s in Turkish, we don’t touch the adj.s themselves (I mean, their plurality or singularity), but we change the nouns by adding suffixes.
