Questions & Answers about Aceleci karar mantıklı değil.
Turkish often uses nominal (copular) sentences without a separate “to be.” The predicate adjective carries the meaning of “is.” In the negative, Turkish uses değil as the negator. So:
- Aceleci karar mantıklı. = “A hasty decision is logical.” (colloquial)
- Aceleci karar mantıklı değil. = “A hasty decision is not logical.” A formal variant can add -dir: mantıklıdır/değildir.
değil negates predicate nouns/adjectives: “X is not Y.”
yok means “there is no / doesn’t exist / doesn’t have.”
- mantıklı değil = “is not logical.”
- mantık yok = “there is no logic” (different idea).
Don’t replace değil with yok here.
