Questions & Answers about Bu yüz çiçek çok güzel.
Why doesn't the sentence say bir yüz for "one hundred"?
In Turkish, you just say yüz for "one hundred". You only add a number in front for two hundred (iki yüz), three hundred (üç yüz), and so on.
Why is it çiçek (flower) instead of çiçekler (flowers) if there are a hundred of them?
In Turkish, nouns that come after a number always stay in the singular form. Because the number yüz already tells us there is more than one, adding the plural ending -ler is not allowed.
The translation says "these", but bu usually means "this". Shouldn't it be bunlar?
When a pointing word like bu is used right next to the noun it describes, it never takes a plural ending. You only use bunlar when the word stands completely alone as a pronoun, like saying "These are beautiful" instead of "These flowers".
Why isn't there a plural ending on güzel?
Adjectives in Turkish never change form to match the plural noun they describe. The word güzel (beautiful) stays exactly the same whether you are talking about one flower or one hundred flowers.
