    Please, just so that I can see the difference clearly, how would you say "the woman is a very old engineer"? (which is what I put, and got so wrong.)

        Is kadın actually an adjective here?

              because kadin is an adjective, not a noun

                        It doesn't sound natural but a bit harsh to mark it wrong, but we would say repair man, 'paper boy, cleaning lady ect. I put lady engineer and got marked incorrect.

                          "The woman engineer is very old." Başka doğru cevap. I would like to say that on previous topic lessons, if the word "Kadın" was not used, you would be marked wrong.

                            "Lady" is more appropriate word than" female"
