Questions & Answers about Hizmet hızlı.
What does hizmet mean in the sentence "Hizmet hızlı"?
Hizmet translates to "service". In this sentence, it refers to the concept of service being provided, whether by a company or an individual.
Why is there no linking verb (like is) in the sentence "Hizmet hızlı"?
Turkish commonly omits the linking verb in the present simple tense when expressing a state or quality. Thus, "Hizmet hızlı" naturally means "Service is fast" without an explicit is.
Why does the adjective hızlı appear after the subject hizmet rather than before it?
In this sentence, hızlı functions as a predicate adjective describing the subject. Unlike attributive adjectives (which directly modify a noun and usually come before it), predicate adjectives appear after the subject once the linking verb is dropped in Turkish.
Do adjectives in Turkish change according to the number or gender of the noun, as seen with hızlı?
No, adjectives in Turkish are invariant. They do not change form based on plurality or gender. Hızlı remains the same regardless of whether it describes one service or several.
Can I add any modifiers to emphasize how fast the service is, and if so, how?
Yes, you can add adverbs or other modifiers for emphasis. For example, saying "Hizmet gerçekten hızlı" (meaning "Service is really fast") adds extra emphasis. The structure remains similar, with the modifier placed before the adjective.
