"Kadın mühendis çok yaşlı."

Translation: The female engineer is very old.

[Siobhan009]

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.)

[mizinamo]

Kadın çok yaşlı bir mühendis.

[Siobhan009]

Thank you, that's very helpful. And thanks for replying so quickly!

[SheridanZhoy]

Is kadın actually an adjective here?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

yes it is.

[EhabMohey92]

why not "muhendisi" ?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

because kadin is an adjective, not a noun

[EhabMohey92]

Thanks for replying :)

Some weird sentences..

[MrHilmiNevzat]

Hello

London.CHANEL

Some weird sentences. Bazı acayip cümleler.

Teşekkür ederim

[London.CHANEL]

Hiii, monsieur Hilmi! Really missed you.
So "bazı acayip cümleler" means some weird sentences. Lemme guess.. acayip = weird; strange, cümle = sentence (ler plural).

I'm trying my best to learn as much as I can before travelling to Istanbul.

Hello

Really missed you. - Bende seni çok özledim.

Lemme guess.. acayip = weird; strange, cümle = sentence (ler plural). - Evet.

I have answered all of your topic posts & do not always get a return signature from duo.

Please have a wonderful time in Turkey. I finished all the Turkish language topics some months ago. I've gone back to the beginning. So much wonderful Turkish revision & learning things that are still difficult like the last 15 topics.

Bazı - some - (pronoun) & (adverb)

Acayip - strange - weird - (adjective)

&

Tuhaf - strange - (adjective)

Cümle - sentence - (noun) + -ler meaning "sentences."

You will learn these words in Duo's topics.

Thank you

[London.CHANEL]

Thank you. I should start using pen and paper to write down most of the stuff I've learnt here.

This is the first comment of yours I got (via email); duolingo hasn't given any notification for a long time. Maybe duolingo doesn't send notifications of a certain language when one is in the middle of learning another one.. maybe.

The engineer woman is very old? Why this wasn't accepted

[Simin977165]

The engineer woman is very old " is mistake?

[Simon427206]

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.

Like מהנדס (mehandes — engineer) in Hebrew

[suzwzaidel]

It is a loanword from Arabic, مُهَنْدِس [muhandis].

"Lady" is more appropriate word than" female"
