Questions & Answers about Rezidans geniş ve şık.
What part of speech is rezidans, and how do I form its plural?
Rezidans is a noun borrowed from French, meaning a high-end residential complex or apartment building. It’s singular; to make it plural you add the Turkish plural suffix -lar or -ler according to vowel harmony: rezidanslar.
Why is there no article before rezidans? Shouldn’t I say bir rezidans?
Turkish does have an indefinite article bir (“a/an”), but in general descriptive statements it’s usually omitted. So Rezidans geniş ve şık can be understood as either “a residence is spacious and stylish” or simply “the residence is spacious and stylish.”
Where is the verb “to be” in this sentence?
In the present tense Turkish typically omits the copula. The verb “to be” is understood. If you need formality or clarity you can add the suffix -dır/-dir/-dur/-dür, yielding Rezidans geniştir ve şıktır, but in everyday speech you just say Rezidans geniş ve şık.
Why do geniş and şık follow the noun instead of coming before it?
Here they function as predicate adjectives (they describe the subject), so in Turkish they follow the noun with no extra linking element. If you want to use them attributively (directly modifying the noun), they come before: geniş ve şık rezidans (“the spacious and stylish residence”).
