Questions & Answers about Burada yazmak çok kolay.
Why does yazmak mean "writing" here instead of "to write"?
The -mak suffix creates a verbal noun, which is the dictionary or infinitive form of a verb. In English, we can translate this as either the "to" form (to write) or the "-ing" form (writing). Both "To write here is very easy" and "Writing here is very easy" are correct translations for this sentence.
Why is the suffix -mak used instead of -mek on yazmak?
This is due to 2-way vowel harmony. The root verb is yaz- (write). Because its only vowel is a (a back vowel), the suffix must also take a back vowel, making it -mak.
Why does burada (here) come before yazmak (writing)?
In Turkish, words that describe where or how an action happens usually come before the verb or verbal noun. So "writing here" is phrased as "at here writing" (burada yazmak).
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
In simple present tense sentences, the verb "to be" (is/am/are) is often just implied in Turkish. By putting the adjective kolay (easy) at the end of the sentence, it naturally means "is easy" without needing a separate word.
