Learn the use of “This” in Turkish

Bu ne? O bir araba.Bunlar ne? Onlar araba.Ben bunu istiyorum.Ben bunları istiyorum.. . .

"Bu" is “this” and “bunlar” is “these” in Turkish language. For example:

Bu ne? What’s this? Bu bir ev. This is a house.Bunlar ne? What are these?Bunlar ev. They are houses.

You can use "Bu" as an adjective. But the word takes the suffix for definite object (the) if the phrase is the object of the sentence.

Bu ev güzel. This house is nice.Bu evler güzel. These houses are nice.Ben bu evi istiyorum. I want this house.Ben bu evleri istiyorum. I want these houses.

"Bu" becomes "bunu" if it is used as the object of the sentence.

Ben bunu istiyorum. I want (the) this.Ben bunları istiyorum. I want (the) these.

"Bu" meaning "this" is also used with suffixes in some cases. For example:

Bunun adı ne? What's the name of this?Bunların adı ne? What are the names

of these?…

Kapıyı bununla aç. Open the door with this.Bunda bir şey var. There is something in this.O bundan daha iyi. It is better than (“from”

in Turkish) this.

Also learn the use of “this” with words like “for, like, about etc”:

Bunun için For thisBunun gibi Like thisBunun hakkında About this
