"Dünkü yemek çok güzeldi."

Translation: Yesterday's food was very nice.

'Dünün yemeği çok güzeldi' has the same meaning?

[EhabMohey92]

I thought that (-ki) doesn't follow any 'way harmony' !!

[modene1]

It doesn't normally. This is one of the exceptions.

[EhabMohey92]

okay, thanks for replying :)

[JustinTapp2]

Yesterday's meal was quite lovely.

[AlexinNotTurkey]

I would translate "lovely" as "hoş."

[JustinTapp2]

Güzel is the second listed translation for "nice" on Tureng.
All the Brits I know would use "lovely" in that sentence in place of "nice." I think it should be an acceptable translation, goes well with güzel.

[EdvntL]

I agree. To North American ears, you do "overuse" the word lovely - like we do with nice :-)

[Samndunk]

"'Nice' is not a descriptive word!" as my old English teacher used to say. 'Güzel" to me means 'beautiful', 'lovely'; these I would use to describe a meal, along with 'tasty' and 'delicious'. I would only use 'nice' if it was fairly poor to average food and I didn't want to be rude or offensive to its creator.

[Squonkalini]

Can you just say "güzel" without the "di"?

[terimjr]

because of the simple past tense, you have to use "di"

[Squonkalini]

Thanks, iamnotapot, I eventually realized that as the lesson went on...

Notice that here yemek is accepted. But for türkiye'deki yemekler çok güzel it isn't. Why?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

You could be talking about a single dish here :)

[modene1]

Bugger. I thought I was onto something. :)

[turkey1260]

I translated (as Dragonrykr) güzel with beautiful. But it was not accepted. WHY?

[BraveGok]

The yesterday's food was very nice. This response is incorrect. Why? One of you explain it please :(

[Eva242549]

It's an English problem. You have to say "Yesterday's food" not "The yesterday's food."

[mohammed339347]

Dünkü yemek or dünkü yemeği

[modene1]

The first one.

[Dragonrykr]

Can't you say - Yesterday's food was very beautiful ?

[modene1]

Probably because beautiful is an unusual way to describe food. (It is possible though and would most likely be written Yesterday's food looked beautiful).

[SheikhJahb]

I always try to present meals beautifully, even when I'm just making a bowl for myself. I know Turkish chefs feel the same way or gül börekler wouldn't exist. I wonder how to say that the food was beautiful.

[Salsmachev]

Yeah tbh it rankles a bit that the mods/creators throw out weird, oddly specific sentences like "we drink yours" but then mark logical, if perhaps slightly unusual, translations wrong.

"the food that we ate yesterday was so nice "
