Questions & Answers about Restoran cazip.
Why is there no verb equivalent to "is" in the sentence Restoran cazip?
In Turkish, the present tense form of the copula (the linking verb "to be") is typically omitted when it is understood from context. Thus, Restoran cazip conveys "The restaurant is appealing" without explicitly stating "is."
How are definite articles handled since the English translation seems to include "the" while the Turkish sentence does not?
Turkish does not use definite or indefinite articles. The word Restoran simply means "restaurant," and whether it is interpreted as definite or indefinite is determined by context. There is no need for an extra word equivalent to "the."
What is the literal word-for-word translation of Restoran cazip?
Word-for-word, Restoran cazip translates as "restaurant appealing." In natural English, we adjust the word order and add the implied verb to render it as "The restaurant is appealing."
Do adjectives in Turkish need to agree with the nouns they describe, like in some other languages?
No, adjectives in Turkish remain in their base form regardless of the noun. There is no agreement for number, gender, or case; cazip stays the same whether it modifies a singular or plural noun.
