Questions & Answers about Porsiyonlar oldukça büyük, fiyatlar da normal.
I notice the letters duk inside oldukça. Is this the object relative participle we are learning?
Not exactly, though they share historical roots! The word oldukça is formed from the verb olmak (to be/become) and the suffix -dıkça. Today, it acts as a fixed adverb meaning "quite" or "rather." You don't need to add possessive endings to it like you do with the -dık clauses in this lesson.
Why is da written as a separate word after fiyatlar?
When da or de is written separately, it is a conjunction meaning "also" or "too." If it were attached to the word as a suffix (fiyatlarda), it would be the locative case meaning "in the prices" or "on the prices."
There are no verbs like "are" in this sentence. How does that work?
In simple present tense sentences, Turkish often drops the "to be" verb completely. The adjectives büyük (big) and normal (normal) do the job of the verb all by themselves. You are simply saying "Portions quite big, prices too normal."
