Erkek is closer to "male" than "man." "Eski" is for objects, "yaşlı" is for people.
Why then do we learn erkek as man in an earlier lesson? Is erkek used as man in certain cases?
But in that case it's more like "ex" -- it's the status of the relationship that's old, not the actual person.
You probably learned Turkish decades ago, like I did. The language has changed a lot since then. We have to learn the new words and endings. For example "ben gidiyorum" is now "ben giderim". Why not, for example "Ihtiyar" for an old man. Not up to date! Also, Eski is for things, yasli is for people (old -thing) as opposed to an aged person.
"iç" is a command. "içer" is a conjugated form in the simple present for 3rd person singular :)
It is the conjucations of the languages. The verb changes according to the noun. We say 'i eat' and 'he eats', think about it, the 'eat' has been conjugated
yes. But especially in spoken language, it is quite flexible. Note that if the object is an unspecific one, it is not flexible, and it has to come before the verb.
e.g. "sıcak süt yaşlı adam içer" makes absolutely no sense.
but if it is hot milk it is 'the hot milk', isn't it?. Otherwise in English it was rather "The old man drinks milk hot'
Exactly. You can't translate word order exactly from Turkish to English or the other way around. In Turkish the verb is at the end of the sentence. In Turkish it's "sicak sut icer" "hot milk he drinks". In English it's he drinks hot milk.
yasli is adjective which will be used for people. ihtiyar is a noun which means old person. Ex: grandmother, grandfather.
Why is: "Yaşlı adam sıcak süt içiyor." this not good?
Dogru olmalidir digilmi? Turkcem kirikda bogle kirikolmadini hatirlamiyorum. Iciyor olmali digilmi?

Suffix "-yor" is relevant to Present Continuous Tense... But in this sentence, the tense is Present Simple Tense"
Why is it "yasli adam icer sut sica" instead of "yasli adam icer sicak sut"?
Because the in turkish sentence structure verb always comes in end. It's a SOV language. Subject+Object+Verb
So the adjective goes alwaus before the noun? Sıcak süt but not süt sıcak
Do I have to say sıcak before süt in my sentence structure: Yaşli adam sıcak sük içer?
If anyone is interested my insta is 'iamrahatul'. We can chat to practice Turkish. Maybe it will help both of us.
When i give wrong answer ,why you dont show the right one ,so we learn where we make mistakes
Why do I know that "Eski is for objects, yaşlı is for people" from Alexin but not from the app?
The verb should be at the end; you are correct. If there is something wrong with your answer, it is not the placement of the verb.
"Bir adam" would mean "a man". The sentence says "The man". In Turkish, "the man" is just plain "adam" without a "bir"
Delete this stupid task, it makes no f***ing sense losing the hearts on it every time!!!
