Questions & Answers about On çiçek çok güzel.
Why is it on çiçek and not on çiçekler (ten flowers)?
In Turkish, when you use a number before a noun to say how many there are, the noun always stays in its singular form. So, you say on çiçek (literally "ten flower"), never on çiçekler.
Where is the word for "are" in this sentence?
Turkish often doesn't use a separate word for "is" or "are". Instead, placing the adjective güzel (beautiful) at the end of the sentence makes it act as the full phrase "are beautiful".
Does the adjective güzel ever get a plural ending since we are talking about ten flowers?
No. In Turkish, adjectives don't change to match the number of things they describe. Whether you are talking about one flower or ten, the word is always just güzel.
Could çok mean "many" in this sentence?
While çok can mean "many" or "a lot" when used with a noun (like çok çiçek for "many flowers"), here it comes right before the adjective güzel. When used before an adjective, çok means "very".
