Questions & Answers about Bu köy, manzarası ile meşhur.
Why is it manzarası and not just manzara?
The word manzara means view or scenery. The suffix -sı is the third-person possessive ending, meaning its. So, manzarası literally means its view. The sentence is saying the village is famous for its view.
I thought ile meant with. Why does the English translation say famous for?

Where is the verb in this sentence?
In Turkish, simple present-tense sentences that describe something often do not need a visible verb to mean is. The word meşhur (famous) sits at the end of the sentence, and the state of being is simply understood from the context.
How would I use the future tense from this lesson to say This village will be famous?
Because meşhur is an adjective, it cannot take a future tense suffix directly. You need the helper verb olmak (to be or become). You would say Bu köy, manzarası ile meşhur olacak. The future suffix -acak attaches perfectly to the consonant-ending root ol-.
