Questions & Answers about Yuvarlak ayna duvarda.

Why does yuvarlak come before ayna?
Just like in English, Turkish adjectives like yuvarlak (round) come right before the noun they describe, which is ayna (mirror). Notice that the adjective doesn't take any extra endings.
If I wanted to say 'a round mirror', how would I change this?
You would add bir (a/an) between the adjective and the noun, making it yuvarlak bir ayna. Because there is no bir here, we understand it as 'the round mirror'.
Where is the verb for 'is' in Yuvarlak ayna duvarda?
There isn't a separate word for it! In simple descriptive sentences in Turkish, you often don't need a word for 'is'. Putting the location duvarda (on the wall) at the end naturally means 'is on the wall'.
Why is the suffix -da used on duvar instead of -de?
This happens because of vowel harmony. The last vowel in duvar (wall) is an 'a'. Since 'a' is a back vowel, the location suffix must also use a back vowel, making it -da (on/at/in).
