"What is the population of Turkey?"

Translation: Türkiye'nin nüfusu kaçtır?

[Sinan2003]

When to use kaçta and when to use kaçtir?

[AyaKarabli]

Kaçtır means what is
Kaçta means at what

Saat kaçta - at what time
En büyük sayı kaçtır - what is the largest number

[MalkatHaSheleg]

Is halk wrong here!

[FailingAgain]

When do you use Halk and when do you use Nüfusu (sorry for any spelling errors)

[ErikRempe]

Is -tir after kaç optional here?

[Ektoraskan]

Yes, in spoken language, where it would never be uttered. A newspaper article, however, would do well to include it.

[ZandraL.Le]

OK....so why didn't Duo accept my translation without the "tir"? One way or the other, I appreciate that you made it clear that this is how I would say it when asking someone.

[OrianaDaz]

Is it correct if I say "hangi Türkiye'nin nüfusu? " just asking . Thanks ☺

[hakimsopiak]

I think hangi is "which" rather than how many

[JuergenZirak]

I used "ne" instead of "kaç", taking the English phrase not as asking how big the population was, but rather what kind of population. This was accepted, but now I wonder if it should have been.

[redactedname721]

I think the translation should be how many people not what

[MrHilmiNevzat]

"What is the population of Turkey?"
Translation: Türkiye'nin nüfusu kaçtır?

&

Türkiye'nin nüfusu nedir?

Correct other Turkish answer accepted by Duo.

[MetroWestJP]

I tried "Türkiye'nin nüfusu kaç tane?" and was marked wrong. Is there a reason "tane" can't be used here, or should I report this?

[Sheikh_Tadeeb]

I think Turks use tane , when talking about countable things for eg :-

Orada kaç tane elma var

but the population is not countable so use of "tane" is wrong ..
Kolay gelsin : )

[Ruth990362]

Surely population IS countable!
