Questions & Answers about Pijama çok rahat.

Where is the English “is” in this sentence?

Turkish drops a separate “to be” in 3rd person present. The adjective itself is the predicate: Pijama çok rahat = “Pajamas very comfortable.” For a formal or generalizing tone you can add the copular suffix to the predicate: Pijama çok rahattır.

Is pijama singular or plural? English uses a plural word for one item.

Pijama is grammatically singular in Turkish and refers to one pair of pajamas. For multiple pairs, use the plural pijamalar.

• One pair: Bu pijama çok rahat.
• Several pairs: Pijamalar çok rahat.

Does this sentence talk about pajamas in general or a specific pair?

Alone, Pijama çok rahat can be either, depending on context. To make it specific, add a demonstrative:

• Bu pijama çok rahat. (this pair) For a clear generic statement, either pluralize or add -dır:
• Pijamalar çok rahat.
• Pijama çok rahattır.

How do I say “My pajamas are very comfortable”?

Add the 1st‑person possessive:

• Pijamam çok rahat. Optionally include the pronoun:
• Benim pijamam çok rahat. Because pijama ends in a vowel, the possessive is just -m, not -ım.

If the subject is plural, should the predicate be plural too?

No. Predicate adjectives normally stay singular:

• Pijamalar çok rahat. is natural. Adding a plural copula (-lar) is optional and mostly used with human subjects or for emphasis: Pijamalar çok rahattırlar (formal/marked). With inanimate things, speakers usually avoid -lar here.

What exactly does çok mean here?

Before adjectives/adverbs, çok = “very/so”: çok rahat. Before nouns, it means “many/a lot of”: çok pijama. For “too comfortable,” use fazla or aşırı: fazla rahat.

Where does çok go? Can I say rahat çok?

Place çok before the adjective/adverb it modifies: çok rahat. Rahat çok is ungrammatical in this meaning. If you put çok rahat before a noun, you create a noun phrase, e.g., çok rahat pijama = “a very comfortable pajama(s),” not a sentence.

How do I ask “Are the pajamas very comfortable?”

Use the question particle mi/mı/mu/mü after the predicate, with vowel harmony:

• Pijama çok rahat mı? It’s written as a separate word, but it clings to the preceding word prosodically. You choose mı because the last vowel in rahat is a.

How do I negate it?

Put değil after the predicate:

• Pijama çok rahat değil. You can also say Pijama rahat değil.

Can I add the formal/generic ending -dır? Where does it attach?

Yes; it attaches to the predicate (not the subject) and follows vowel harmony and voicing:

• Pijama çok rahattır. (not rahatdır) The final t in rahat keeps the suffix voiceless (-tır) and the double tt is shown in writing.

How do I pronounce the words/letters?

• ç = ch as in English church.
• j = zh as in English measure.
• h is always pronounced. Approximate words: pijama = pee‑ZHAH‑mah; çok = CHOHK; rahat = ra‑HAHT. Turkish stress is typically on the last syllable.

Can I change the word order?

Default is Subject–Predicate: Pijama çok rahat. You can front the predicate for emphasis, but Çok rahat pijama is easily read as a noun phrase “very comfortable pajamas.” To avoid ambiguity when fronting, add -dır: Çok rahattır pijama. In everyday speech, keep the default order.

Any spelling gotchas?

• Always write the diacritics: çok with ç (not cok).
• Keep the h in rahat; it’s pronounced.
• It’s pijama with j (not piyama).

How do I say “more comfortable” or “most comfortable”?

• Comparative: daha rahat. Example: Pijama kot pantolondan daha rahat.
• Superlative: en rahat. Example: Bu pijama en rahat.
