Questions & Answers about Kaç öğrenci yorgun?
Why does the sentence use öğrenci (student) instead of the plural form for "students"?
In Turkish, anytime you use a number or a question word asking for a quantity like kaç (how many), the noun that follows must stay in the singular form. You never add the plural suffix -lar or -ler after kaç.
How would I answer this question to say "Three students are tired"?
You simply replace the question word kaç with your number! To say "three students", you use üç (three) and keep the noun singular: Üç öğrenci yorgun.
Where is the word for "are" in this sentence?
Turkish doesn't use a separate verb for "is" or "are" in simple sentences like this. By putting the subject (kaç öğrenci) and the adjective (yorgun) side by side, the "are" is automatically understood.
How do I pronounce the ğ in öğrenci?
The ğ (soft g) doesn't make a hard consonant sound. Instead, it just lengthens the vowel right before it. So, öğrenci is pronounced smoothly, almost like "öö-ren-ji".
