Questions & Answers about Atölye geniş.
Why is there no equivalent of the verb is in Atölye geniş?
In Turkish, the present simple form of the verb to be is typically omitted in declarative sentences. The adjective geniş functions as a predicative adjective, so the linking verb (which would be is in English) is understood rather than stated explicitly.
What is the word order in Atölye geniş?
The sentence follows a subject–predicate structure. Atölye serves as the subject, and geniş is the predicate adjective describing the subject. This simple structure is common in Turkish sentences that state a quality or condition.
Why is the adjective geniş positioned after atölye instead of before it?
In Turkish, adjectives used in a predicative sense come after the subject. When an adjective functions as a predicate (describing a state or condition), it follows the subject, whereas an adjective used directly to modify a noun (attributively) would usually precede it.
Do adjectives in Turkish agree with the noun in gender, number, or case?
No, Turkish adjectives remain unchanged regardless of the noun they describe. They do not inflect for gender, number, or case, which simplifies their usage compared to adjectives in some other languages.
How can I emphasize the spaciousness if I want to say “The workshop is very spacious” in Turkish?
