Questions & Answers about Türkçe ve İngilizce güzel.
Where is the word for "are" in this sentence?
In Turkish, there is no separate word for "is" or "are". When stating a simple fact in the present tense, you often just put the subject and the adjective together. So, Türkçe ve İngilizce güzel literally translates to "Turkish and English beautiful."
Since we are talking about two languages, why isn't güzel plural?
In Turkish, adjectives do not change to match the number of things they describe. Even though "Turkish and English" makes a plural subject, the adjective güzel stays in its base dictionary form. You never add a plural suffix like -ler to an adjective.
What do the -çe and -ce endings mean in Türkçe and İngilizce?
These suffixes turn a nationality into a language. Türk means a Turkish person, and adding -çe makes it the Turkish language. İngiliz means an English person, and -ce makes it the English language. The spelling changes slightly from -ce to -çe because of a pronunciation rule called consonant harmony.
Do language names always start with a capital letter in Turkish?
Yes! Just like in English, names of languages, nationalities, and countries are proper nouns in Turkish. This means words like Türkçe and İngilizce must always start with a capital letter.
