Questions & Answers about İzlenim önemli.
Why is there no word for “is” between izlenim and önemli?
In Turkish, the present tense copula (“is”) is typically omitted in simple sentences. The sentence uses a zero copula, so önemli directly serves as the predicate adjective describing izlenim.
What does the word izlenim mean?
İzlenim translates to “impression” in English. It refers to a perception or overall feeling one gets about someone or something.
In the sentence "İzlenim önemli," is önemli functioning as an adjective or a verb?
Önemli is functioning as an adjective. It describes the subject izlenim, conveying the idea that an impression is considered important.
Does "İzlenim önemli" follow a subject-predicate structure, and what are its components?
Yes, the sentence follows a subject-predicate structure. İzlenim is the subject, and önemli is the predicate adjective that acts as the complement of the subject.
How would you modify the sentence if you wanted to refer to multiple impressions, such as "Impressions are important"?
To refer to multiple impressions, add the plural suffix -ler to izlenim. The sentence would then be "İzlenimler önemli."
Do adjectives in Turkish always come after the noun, considering this sentence?
Not necessarily. When adjectives modify nouns directly, they typically come before the noun (e.g., "önemli izlenim"). However, in predicate constructions like this sentence, the adjective appears after the subject as a complement.
