Questions & Answers about Emlakçı, kiralık daire gösterecek.
Is the comma after Emlakçı necessary?
No. In standard Turkish you do not place a comma between the subject and the verb. The natural version is: Emlakçı kiralık daire gösterecek. Use a comma only with appositions or long/parenthetical subjects (e.g., Emlakçı Ali Bey, yarın…).
Why doesn’t daire have the accusative ending -i?
Because the object is non-specific (indefinite). Turkish marks specific/definite direct objects with -(y)i.
- Non-specific: Emlakçı kiralık daire gösterecek. = will show a rental apartment (some apartment).
- Specific: Emlakçı kiralık daireyi gösterecek. = will show the rental apartment (a particular one we have in mind).
Does kiralık daire mean one apartment or more?
It’s number-neutral. Without -ler, Turkish often leaves number vague; in English it’s usually translated as singular. To force plural, say kiralık daireler gösterecek. To refer to a specific set, use the accusative plural: kiralık daireleri gösterecek.
Do I need bir to mean “a”? Should I say kiralık bir daire?
No, bir is optional. Without it, the object is already indefinite. Use kiralık bir daire to emphasize a single, countable apartment. Place bir before the noun, after the adjective: kiralık bir daire (not bir kiralık daire, which sounds like “one rental apartment” in the numeric sense or is stylistic).
What nuance does the future -ecek have? Could I use the present continuous instead?
