Questions & Answers about Bu oda çok temiz.
Does çok always come directly before the adjective it modifies?
Yes! Just like in English, the degree modifier çok (very) goes directly in front of the adjective it describes. So, çok temiz perfectly translates to 'very clean'.
Could çok mean 'a lot' or 'many' in this sentence?
Not in this specific sentence. Because it comes right before the adjective temiz, it translates to 'very'. However, if you use çok before a noun (like çok kahve) or with a verb, it means 'a lot' or 'much'.
Where is the word for 'is' in Bu oda çok temiz?
Turkish doesn't use a separate word for 'is' in simple present-tense descriptive sentences like this. The 'is' is simply understood by the listener. You are literally saying 'This room very clean', which is the grammatically correct way to build this sentence in Turkish.
Why do we use Bu here instead of another pointing word?
Bu means 'this' and is used for something close to you, like the room you are currently standing in. If you were talking about a room further down the hall, you would use şu (that) or o (that one over there).
