Questions & Answers about Mor çiçekler çok güzel.
Does the adjective mor always come before the noun it describes?
Yes, just like in English, descriptive adjectives in Turkish come right before the noun they modify. So we say mor çiçekler (purple flowers) and never çiçekler mor.
Why doesn't mor get a plural ending since the flowers are plural?
In Turkish, adjectives never take a plural ending when they are used before a noun. You only put the plural suffix -ler or -lar on the noun itself. It is always mor çiçekler, never morlar çiçekler.
Where is the word for "are" in this sentence?
Turkish often leaves out the "to be" verb (am, is, are) in simple present tense sentences. Just putting çok güzel at the end of the sentence automatically translates to "are very beautiful."
The subject is plural (flowers). Why isn't the ending word güzeller?
When the subject of a sentence is non-human (like plants, animals, or objects) and it is pluralized with -lar or -ler, the describing word at the end of the sentence usually stays in its singular form.
