Questions & Answers about En yeni model şu.
How do we make "new" into "newest" in this sentence?
English adds "-est" to the end of an adjective, but Turkish simply puts the word en (which means "most") right before it. So yeni is "new", and en yeni is "newest" (literally "most new").
Where is the verb "is" in this sentence?
In simple statements saying what something is, Turkish doesn't always need a word for "is". Putting en yeni model (the newest model) and şu (that one) side by side is enough to mean "The newest model is that one."
Could I change the word order to Şu en yeni model?
Yes! Şu en yeni model is a perfectly good sentence that translates to "That is the newest model." Our sentence, En yeni model şu, just emphasizes the pointing word by placing it at the end, meaning "The newest model is THAT one."
Why use şu instead of o to say "that"?
While o means "that" for things further away, şu is specially used when you are actively drawing someone's attention to something or pointing right at it. It translates perfectly to "that one right there."
