PLURAL-OUL Kitap book kitaplar books Araba car arabalar cars Kap door kaplar doors 7. www.study-turkish.com Televizyon televizyonlar television televisions ku kular bird birds defter defterler note-book note-books polis polisler policeman policemen gz gzler eye eyes ofr ofrler drive r drivers gl gller rose roses PLURAL-OUL 8. www.study-turkish.com BUNLAR, UNLAR, ONLAR You have already seen bu, u and o. Now the forms bunlar, unlar and onlar will be introduced. Bu Bunlar this these u unlar that those O Onlar it they 9. www.study-turkish.com As you can see, in order to make plurals with bu, u and o, the letter n is added before the plural siffix -lar Bu bu-n-lar, u u-n-lar, O o-n-lar To make Bu bir evdir into plural, bu changes to bunlar, ev to evler, and bir is omitted. But generally, in conversational Turkish, it will be enough to use just one plural suffix. Bu bir evdir. This a house. Bunlar evlerdir. These are houses. BUNLAR, UNLAR, ONLAR 10. www.study-turkish.com Combining the plural and be-suffixes -lerdir, -lardr , is consireded not to sound good, and the plural suffix preceeding the be-suffix is asually omitted-adding a plural suffix to bu (bunlar) for example is enough. Bu bir kedidir. Bunlar kedidir. this is a cat. these are cats. u bir anahtardr. unlar anahtardr. That is a key. those are keys O bir otobsdr. Onlar otobsdr It is a bus they are buses BUNLAR, UNLAR, ONLAR 11. www.study-turkish.com Bu bir iektir. Bunlar iektr. this is a flower these are flowers u bir televizyondur unlar televizyondur. That is a television Those are televisions O bir resimdir. Onlar resimdir. It is a picture they are pictures We can see from the above sentences that whereas in English the plural suffix (the letter s) is always used (added to the noun to maek it plorar), Turkish the plural can be indicated just by bunlar /unlar /onlar/.note also that the be-suffix may be used but does not change-that english equivalent, ''is'' , becomes ''are'' for plurals BUNLAR, UNLAR, ONLAR 12. www.study-turkish.com BUNLAR (UNLAR, ONLAR) NEDR? Having seen questiun forms with bu /u/o we now look out question with these in the plural Bunlar nedir? Onlar evdir. What are these? They are houses. unlar nedir? Onlar tabaktr. What are those? They are plates. Onlar nedir? Onlar bardaktr. What are they? They are glasses. Bunlar nedir? Onlar kapdr. What are these? They are doors. unlar nedir? Onlar szlktr. What are those? They are dictionaries. 13. www.study-turkish.com YOKSA Yoksa (=or) is used when we want toask which of the alternatives in a question is correct. Yoksa joins two complete sentences. (Note that the question marker is repeated, but bu/u/o is not. Bu bir otobs mdr yoksa bir tren midir? Is this a bus or a train? u bir retmen midir yoksa renci mi(dir)? Is that a teacher or a student? 14. www.study-turkish.com O bir okul mudur yoksa ev midir? Is a school or a house? Bu otobs m yoksa tren m? Is this a bus or a train? O okul mu yoksa ev mi? Is it a school or a house YOKSA 15. www.study-turkish.com As these question cannot be answered by just 'yes' or 'no' , a full sentence answer is necessary . Bu bir anta mdr yoksa bir sepet midir? O bir antadr. Is this a bag or a basket? It is a bag. u bir kpek midir yoksa bir kedi midir? O bir kedidir. Is that a dog or a cat? It s a cat. YOKSA 16.
