Are punctuation marks a must to turkish words like istanbul´dan?

 

 You mean ´ ? Yes, a geographic name always gets that punctuation mark.

 Actually, it´s any proper noun - names of places and people.

Quoting Trudy

I was looking at the homework assignments for the coming week and besides doing it, I´d like to translate the sentences and words as well, thus increasing my vocabulary. I know güzel means beautiful but in what way is ´güzel mi´ a sentence as stated in one of the excersises? Does it mean ´are you beautiful´ or ´who/what is beautiful´? Maybe silly to ask but I couldn´t make a real sentence from just these two words.

 

Good point Trudy, it would be good to have a few sample exercises with translations to review and get to understand better.

Merhaba!

 

I´m kind of lost in the verb conjugation for this week. I agree completely with Trudy: we need vocabulary translation and some explanations about verb conjugation.

I´d also like to point out that the different labeling of grammar points got me a bit confused last week.

 

Teşekkür ederim!

 Hi,

I´m also a bit lost this week: I think the homework needs some kind of context please. Maybe I´m just being dense this morning???

´Güzel mi?´ means ´Is it nice/Is it good/Is it beautiful.  ´Güzel´ on it´s own means ´it is good/nice/beautiful.

 

If you wanted to say ´you are beautiful´ it is ´güzelsin´ so ´are you beautiful?´ is ´güzel misin?´  adjective + person ending + question marker (which goes before personal ending)

 

´I am beautiful´ = ´Güzelim´.  ´Am I beautiful?´ = ´Güzel miyim?´ (with buffer ´y´ and so on...

Last week I was lost! took an entire day to do the homework and i´m pretty sure i forgot numerous rules.....

This one confused me especially-

Onlar müzisyendi. Is it those were musician ? or they were musician ? How can u tell the difference?

Also do we not need to make musicians plural?

Sorry if it´s a stupid question......

I´m doing the assignments regarding the To be sections both present & past tense.

 

I did sentences using the words stated there but i got confused in adding the -dir, -dır, -dur, -dür.  Can somebody make some clarifications regarding the use, or rather, the rules in using these suffixes.

 

Awaiting answers and thanks in advance.

The suffixes change according to the vowel harmony rules.
