Questions & Answers about Cevap doğru.
What does cevap doğru mean in English?
It literally translates to the answer is correct. Here, cevap means answer and doğru means correct.
Why is there no verb equivalent to “is” in cevap doğru?
In Turkish, the present simple copula (the equivalent of is) is typically omitted in simple statements. The relationship between the subject (cevap) and the predicate adjective (doğru) is understood from context without an explicit linking verb.
What is the difference between cevap doğru and doğru cevap?
Cevap doğru is a full sentence meaning the answer is correct; here, doğru functions as a predicate adjective. In contrast, doğru cevap is a noun phrase that means correct answer, where the adjective doğru appears before the noun and describes it attributively.
Why isn’t there an article before cevap in the sentence?
Turkish does not use articles like a or the. The definiteness of a noun is determined by context rather than by an article, so cevap simply means answer without needing an additional word to indicate specificity.
