Questions & Answers about Şu oyuncak daha pahalı.
How does daha work here? Do I need to add an ending to the adjective?
No, Turkish adjectives don't change for comparisons. You just place daha (more) directly in front of the adjective, exactly like in English. So daha pahalı is simply "more expensive".
Why use Şu instead of O if they both mean "that"?
Şu is used specifically when you are physically pointing at something or drawing someone's visual attention to it right now (like "that one right there"). O is used for things further away or things you were already talking about.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
In Turkish, there is no separate word for "is" in this kind of sentence. For "he", "she", "it", or a specific noun, you just put the subject (Şu oyuncak) and the description (daha pahalı) together.
What if I wanted to say "the most expensive" instead?
You would just swap out daha (more) for en (most). So "That toy over there is the most expensive" would be Şu oyuncak en pahalı.
