In this lesson, you will learn about indefinite determiners. We add nouns after the indefinite determiners to refer to things that are not specified.
After most indefinite determiners the noun stays singular, even when the meaning is plural: birkaç futbolcu (several footballers), çoğu insan (most people), hiçbir kadın (not a single woman). The exception is bazı, which is usually followed by a plural noun: bazı çocuklar (some children).
| Most people died. | Çoğu insan öldü. |
| Some children are very smart. | Bazı çocuklar çok akıllı. |
| Several footballers ran. | Birkaç futbolcu koştu. |
| What are you going to do with so many books? | O kadar kitap ile ne yapacaksın? |
| Not a single woman was late. | Hiçbir kadın geç kalmadı. |
| There is a certain amount of chocolate in the cake. | Pastada bir miktar çikolata var. |
Hiçbir means "not a single" or "no", so the verb after it is negative: Hiçbir kadın geç kalmadı.
