Hi, everybody!

Hope someone can help me with INTENSIVE ADJECTIVES:
(m, p, r, and s)
Is there a rule to make this?

Example:

Beyaz- bembeyaz. (Why we use M, instead of P, R or S??)
Kara-Kapkara
Temiz-tertemiz

I want to understand this knowledge better, I hope someone can explain me the accurate rule or have I to know it by heart??

As far as i know,and been told by my teacher too,there is no rule for that
Still,waiting for different answer to make it easier for me to know it too.

The only 'rule' seems to be that the intensifying prefix starts with the same letter as the original adjective.
There is a comprehensive list of these on www.turkishlanguage.co.uk under 'intensified adjectives'

kap kirmizi=really red
bem beyaz=really white
yem yesil=really green
kap kara=really black
These are the ones i know at least, but really not that important when learning Turkish, you'll pick these up on your learning route

Quoting mylo:

kap kirmizi=really red
bem beyaz=really white
yem yesil=really green
kap kara=really black
These are the ones i know at least, but really not that important when learning Turkish, you'll pick these up on your learning route



they are written together, and the first one is a type I guess. True one is:
kıpkırmızı

Quoting ravel:

mas mavi : for blue
pes pembe: for pink
mos mor :for purple
yem yeşil: for green
gıp gri: for gray



But as caliptrix said previously, they should be written as one word.
