Turkish

<p>
        Below you can see a table with the Turkish <strong>demonstratives</strong>. The English word <strong>this</strong>
        translates into Turkish as <strong>bu</strong>. The English word <strong>that</strong> has two translations into
        Turkish. <strong>Şu</strong> refers to objects that are too far away to use <strong>bu</strong>, but are in sight.
        <strong>O</strong> is normally used for referring to objects that are out of sight, but can always be used instead of <strong>şu</strong>.
    </p>
    <table class="ui celled definition table">
		<thead>
			<tr>
				<th></th>
				<th>Singular</th>
				<th>Plural</th>
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
			<tr>
				<td>Nearby object</td>
				<td>Bu</td>
				<td>Bunlar</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>Object further away in sight</td>
				<td>Şu</td>
				<td>Şunlar</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>Further away or abstract</td>
				<td>O</td>
				<td>Onlar</td>
			</tr>
		</tbody>
    </table>
    <p>Note that the plural forms take the suffix <strong>lar</strong>. For some reason the buffer letter <strong>n</strong> is added before this ending.</p>
    <p>
        We can use demonstratives as nouns:
    </p>
    <table class="ui celled fixed table">
        <tbody><tr>
            <td>This is coffee.</td>
            <td>Bu kahve.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>That<sup>IN SIGHT</sup> is a cat.</td>
            <td>Şu bir kedi.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>That is a good idea.</td>
            <td>O iyi bir fikir.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>These are beautiful.</td>
            <td>Bunlar güzel.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Those<sup>IN SIGHT</sup> are ugly.</td>
            <td>Şunlar çirkin.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Those are big</td>
            <td>Onlar büyük.</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody></table>
    <p>
        Or we can use them in front of nouns as determiners:
    </p>
    <table class="ui celled fixed table">
        <tbody><tr>
            <td>This coffee is nice.</td>
            <td>Bu kahve güzel.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Those<sup>IN SIGHT</sup> cats are small.</td>
            <td><strong>Şu</strong> kediler küçük.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Those dogs are very big.</td>
            <td><strong>O</strong> köpekler çok büyük.</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody></table>
    <p>
        Note that if we use demonstratives as determiners in front of nouns, the demonstrative is always in its singular
        form, regardless of whether the noun is singular or plural.
