Questions & Answers about Bu kadar gevrek böreği görünce yemeden edemiyorum.

What does bu kadar mean here?

Here bu kadar means this much / to this degree / so.

Because it comes before the adjective gevrek, it is talking about the degree of crispiness, not the amount of börek.

So:

• bu kadar gevrek = this crispy / so crispy
• bu kadar börek would mean this much börek / this many pastries

In this sentence, bu kadar gevrek böreği is roughly a börek this crispy or such a crispy börek.

Why is it böreği and not just börek?

Because böreği is the direct object of görünce (when I see), and Turkish often marks a specific direct object with the accusative ending -(y)ı / -(y)i / -(y)u / -(y)ü.

So:

• börek görünce = when I see börek in a more general sense
• böreği görünce = when I see the/that specific börek

English uses articles like a and the, but Turkish often shows this kind of distinction with case endings instead.

Why does börek become böreği? Where did the k go?
