Why doesn’t modern take any Turkish suffix for case or number?

modern is a borrowed adjective and remains indeclinable in Turkish. Adjectives don’t get case or number endings; those go on the noun they modify. Here modern simply describes mimari modelleri without changing form.

Why is modelleri used instead of just modeller?
