Turkish Grammar-7: Adjectives-1

The adjectives have two categories in Turkish essentially: a) determinitive, b) attributive

 

The adjective is in front of the noun. If you want to make the adjectival clause, you should only put the plural suffix to noun. The adjective doesn´t take plural suffix. You will learn how to make the adjectives a noun in next lessons (not now), you will be able to add the plural suffix to the adjective at that time. Now it is too early to be able to do it.
