Questions & Answers about Sağlık herkes için çok önemli.
Why is it herkes için and not herkesin için?
You might remember that personal pronouns take a genitive (possessive) ending before için, like benim için (for me) or senin için (for you). However, regular nouns and indefinite words like herkes (everyone) just use their plain dictionary form before için.
Where is the word for 'is' in this sentence?
In Turkish, 'is' is often invisible in simple present tense sentences! You do not need a separate verb here. Just putting the subject (sağlık) and the description (çok önemli) together naturally translates as 'Health is very important.'
How is the word önemli (important) formed?
It comes from the base noun önem (importance) attached to the suffix -li (with or having). So, önemli literally means 'having importance', which translates to 'important'.
How do I say 'for everything' instead of 'for everyone' using this pattern?
You would use her şey (everything) followed by için, making it her şey için. Just like herkes, it stays in its plain form without any extra endings before the postposition.
