Questions & Answers about Bu kadar güzel manzarayı görünce fotoğraf çekmeden edemiyorum.
What does bu kadar mean in this sentence?
Bu kadar means this much, so much, or this ... in a strengthening sense.
In bu kadar güzel manzarayı, it emphasizes the beauty of the view:
- bu kadar güzel = this beautiful / so beautiful
- more literally: beautiful to this extent
So it adds intensity, similar to English such a beautiful view or a view this beautiful.
Why is manzara written as manzarayı?
Because it is the direct object of the verb, and it is specific/definite.
- manzara = view, scenery
- manzarayı = the view / this specific scenery
The ending -yı is the accusative ending here. The y is a buffer consonant used because manzara ends in a vowel.
So:
- manzara görmek = to see scenery / a view in general
- manzarayı görmek = to see the specific view
In this sentence, the speaker is reacting to a particular beautiful view, so manzarayı makes sense.
