Questions & Answers about Düzen önemli.
Why isn’t there an is in Düzen önemli?
In Turkish, the present-tense copula is (realized as the suffix -dir) is usually omitted in everyday statements. So Düzen önemli literally means “Order (is) important.” The fully explicit form would be Düzen önemlidir, but speakers drop -dir in normal speech and writing.
Why doesn’t Düzen have a word like the or a before it?
Turkish has no articles equivalent to English the or a/an. A bare noun stands for “a/an” or “the” based on context. Here, Düzen simply means “order” in a general sense.
What case is Düzen in, and why is there no suffix on it?
Düzen is in the nominative case (the default for a subject) and takes no suffix. In simple declarative sentences, the subject often remains unmarked.
Why doesn’t the adjective önemli change form to agree with Düzen?
Turkish adjectives do not inflect for number, gender or case. Önemli stays the same whether the noun is singular/plural or in any case.
What’s the difference between Düzen önemli and Önemli düzen?
- Düzen önemli is a predicate: “Order is important.”
- Önemli düzen is attributive: “an important arrangement.”
Adjectives before nouns describe them directly; after nouns (with no copula) they serve as predicates.
How do I say “Order is very important” in Turkish?
Add an adverb like çok (“very”) before önemli:
Düzen çok önemli.
How would I make Düzen önemli sound more formal or emphatic?
Attach the formal suffix -dir to the adjective:
Düzen önemlidir.
This version is slightly more formal or written in tone.
How is düzen different from the adjective düzenli?
- Düzen is a noun meaning “order,” “system,” or “arrangement.”
- Düzenli is an adjective meaning “orderly” or “regular.”
Example: Düzenli bir ev = “an orderly house,” whereas Düzen önemli comments on the importance of order itself.
