Learn Turkish: Orkideli buket papatyalı bukete göre daha pahalı. - The bouquet with orchids is more expensive compared to the bouquet with daisies.

The -lI suffix attaches to a noun to create an adjective that means 'characterized by' or 'containing'. Orkide (orchid) takes the -li suffix due to vowel harmony to become orkideli, and papatya (daisy) takes -lı to become papatyalı.

Since the English translation says 'orchids' and 'daisies', why aren't the Turkish words pluralized?

When using the -lI suffix to describe what an item is made of or contains, Turkish generally keeps the root noun in the singular form. It is much more natural to say orkideli buket (literally 'orchid-containing bouquet') rather than pluralizing it to orkidelerli buket.

Why does the second buket take an -e suffix to become bukete?

The word göre (meaning 'compared to' in this context) always requires the noun before it to take the dative case (the to/for direction suffix). Since buket ends in a consonant and its last vowel is 'e', it takes the -e suffix to become bukete so it can link with göre.

I learned to make comparisons using the -den (from/than) suffix. Can I use that here instead of -e göre?
