Quoting juliacernat:

I`ve learnt that "çok" is used with plural when the meaning is "many different things/things of different kind" (eg "pazara gittim ve çok şeyler satın aldım")



Oh, I see.. But I guess saying "çok şey" isn't completely wrong, is it? It just doesn't stress the "different things", right?

I guess so (although an opinion from a native speaker would be welcome, together with some examples, please

thank you in advance

1. ilginç + şeyler
(adjective) (noun)

2. çok + ilginç + şeyler
(adverb) + (adjective) + (noun)

3. 'çok şeyler' doesn't seem a proper structure. 'çok' indicates plurality itself, therefore we don't need plural endings (-ler) after the noun (şey). So, the correct ones are 'birçok şey', or 'çok şey'. Here are some examples:

Markete gittim ve BİRÇOK şey satın aldım.
Ona ÇOK kitap verdim, ama hiçbirini iade etmedi.
Masanın üstünde BİRÇOK mektup var.
ÇOK söz, yalansız olmaz.

4. As you see in my second example, you can bring the word 'çok' AS AN ADVERB before an adjective to show its degree.

Bu sınıfta ÇOK akıllı öğrenciler var.
I hope, these explanations make sense.
