Questions & Answers about Bu lokanta çok meşhur, her gün kalabalık.
Why isn't there a verb like "is" in this sentence?
In Turkish, you often don't need a verb to say "is" or "are" in the present tense. Placing the subject and adjective together is enough. Bu lokanta çok meşhur directly translates to "This restaurant very famous," and the "is" is naturally understood from the context.
Can I add -dır to the end of meşhur and kalabalık?
Yes, grammatically you could say meşhurdur and kalabalıktır. However, native speakers usually drop the -dır / -dir suffix in everyday conversation. It is mostly kept for formal writing, stating objective facts, or making strong assumptions.
Does kalabalık mean "crowd" or "crowded"?
It can be both! It can function as a noun meaning "crowd," but here it acts as an adjective meaning "crowded" to describe the restaurant. The context makes it clear which one it is.
Since this lesson is about the future tense, how would I say "This restaurant will be crowded"?
