And why should every Turkish learner know an adjective from a noun?
In my opinion it is one of the most important distinctions in Turkish syntax, because in compounds
ADJECTIVE + HEAD IN NOMINATIVE
NOUN + HEAD IN GENITIVE
Often in texts this simple rule alone indicates which constituents belong together.
What is funny about it is that most adjectives can function as nouns and many nouns also make perfect adjectives. The borderlines between parts of speech are far from strict. Talking about noun-like usage and adjective-like usage would be closer to the truth maybe.
So, I asked my question because I wanted to point out how important this topic is.
