Learn Turkish: Kasım ve aralık çok uzun aylar. - November and December are very long months.

In Turkish, months and days of the week are only capitalized if they are used with a specific date (like 15 Aralık) or if they are the first word of a sentence (like Kasım is here). Otherwise, they are written in lowercase.

Where is the word for "are" in this sentence?

Turkish doesn't have a separate word for "am", "is", or "are". In simple statements like this, "are" is just understood from the context. Sometimes you might see a suffix like -dır added to the very end to mean "is/are", but it is completely optional and usually left out in everyday speech.

Why does ay get the plural suffix -lar but uzun doesn't?

In Turkish, adjectives like uzun (long) never take a plural suffix, even when they describe a plural noun. You only pluralize the noun itself, which is why we write uzun aylar (long months) and never uzunlar aylar.

I remember the word ay means "moon". Does it also mean "month"?

Yes! The word ay means both "moon" and "month". Since we are talking about November and December here, it clearly means "months" when the plural suffix -lar is added to make aylar.
