hello there i have some questions I hope you understand my question and you could help me 
1.- I've been learning the pronouns and yeah they're easy, and I could learn the verb "to be" ok i could do it with "güzel" I mean:
ben güzel-im -> güzelim
sen güzel-sin -> güzelsin
etc etc
ok that was easy with the adjetive "güzel" , my problem is with the adjetive "kötü" why in the third person of plural cannot be KÖTÜYLUZ?? it's this a exception or something gramatical? .. and i have to write it KÖTÜLER ?? whyy?
i hope you understand me what i mean

Güzel and kötü are not verbs. They are adjectives. The verb "olmak" is expressed in the suffixes: im-sin-dir-iz-siniz-ler
Don't ask yourself those kind of questions, or you will go mad!!  It's like asking why oh why the sun comes up in the east! 
It's just how it is. The thing is that the rule will always stay like that, no exception to the fact that 3rd person plural will always be -ler/-lar
Ex:
zenginler - they are rich
kırmızıler - they are red
akıllar - they are clever
Hope this helps

(onlar) kırmızılar - they are red
(onlar) akıllılar - they are clever.

Those were really stupid mistakes indeed. You better wait a couple of months with using that term of address 
I'm not like that usually, I just have an off-day
