Questions & Answers about Bu kumaş çok kaliteli ve ucuz.
How would I use Hangi to ask "Which fabric is high-quality?" based on this sentence?
You simply replace the word Bu (This) with the question word Hangi (Which). The question becomes Hangi kumaş kaliteli?.
How would I ask "How is this fabric?" to get this sentence as an answer?
You would use the question word nasıl (how). In Turkish, question words usually go in the same spot as the information they are asking for. So, you can just ask Bu kumaş nasıl? (How is this fabric?).
The dictionary word for quality is kalite. Why does it end with -li here?
The suffix -li (and its vowel harmony variations -lı, -lu, -lü) means "with" or "having". Adding -li to the noun kalite turns it into the adjective kaliteli, which literally means "having quality" or "high-quality".
Why isn't there a word for "is" in this sentence?
In simple present tense sentences about "he", "she", or "it" (like bu kumaş), Turkish doesn't require a visible word for "is". Just putting the adjectives kaliteli ve ucuz right after the subject is enough to mean "is high-quality and cheap".
