Questions & Answers about Projeniz çok iyi.
How does projeniz mean "your project"?
The base word is proje (project). To say "your" (plural or formal), we add the possessive suffix -niz. Because proje ends in a vowel, we don't need a buffer vowel. The 'i' in -niz follows vowel harmony rules based on the last vowel 'e' in proje.
Can I use projeniz if I am only talking to one person?
Yes! The suffix -(I)nIz is used for "your" when talking to a group of people (plural "you"), but it is also used as a polite or formal "your" when speaking to just one person, like a boss, a teacher, or a stranger. If you were talking casually to one friend, you would just say projen.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
In simple present tense sentences describing what something is like, Turkish often leaves out the "to be" verb completely. Projeniz çok iyi literally translates to "Your project very good," but it is the standard, complete way to say "Your project is very good."
Why does çok iyi come at the end of the sentence?
In Turkish, the main action or state of the sentence usually comes at the very end. Even though there isn't an actual verb here, the description çok iyi (very good) acts as the main point of the sentence, so it sits at the end after the subject projeniz.
