Questions & Answers about Bu konu çok zor.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
In Turkish, there is no separate word for "is" for "he", "she", or "it". You just put the subject (bu konu) and the description (çok zor) together, and the "is" is understood automatically.
I learned that çok means "a lot" or "many". Why is it translated as "very" here?
Çok is a very flexible word! When you put it before a noun, it means "a lot of" or "many". But when you put it right before an adjective like zor (hard), it simply means "very".
Does bu change form depending on the noun it is attached to?
No. Turkish doesn't have grammatical gender, so you never have to change words for masculine or feminine. Additionally, when bu (this) is used to describe a specific noun, it never becomes plural. Even if you wanted to say "these topics", you would still use bu and just make the noun plural: bu konular.
