Questions & Answers about Sarı tişört çok büyük.

Why does sarı come before tişört?
In Turkish, adjectives always come right before the noun they describe, exactly like they do in English. So sarı tişört translates directly to 'yellow t-shirt'.
Where is the word for 'is' in this sentence?
There isn't a separate word here. In Turkish, the present tense word for 'is' is often invisible when talking about a 'he', 'she', or 'it'. Simply putting çok büyük after the subject makes it a complete sentence meaning 'is very big'.
If we were talking about plural yellow t-shirts, would the word sarı change?
No, Turkish adjectives never change to match the noun. Even if you added the plural ending to the noun to make sarı tişörtler (yellow t-shirts), the adjective sarı stays exactly the same.
Does çok always mean 'very'?
It depends on what follows it! When çok is placed right before an adjective like büyük, it means 'very'. If it is used with a noun instead, it translates to 'much', 'many', or 'a lot'.
