"Bu ekmek"

Translation: This bread

[KinanHabbal]

how can we differentiate between this bread and this is bread ?

[zeynb]

"bu ekmek" can mean both; "bu ekmektir" only means this is bread.

If There is a period (.) at the end (bu ekmek.) then it is bread. Without the period, this bread

[Bush6984]

Does the hover-hint about "this" and "these" mean that there's no singular vs plural for "bu"?

[MickeytheGreat]

Is there some rule to what syllable we're putting the accent on in Turkish?

[shabnam573818]

What the kind of movi is that mr.? I think. I also need learn by watching movie

[skyline502]

If you want to say "This is the bread." what do you say? Like in "this is the bread I talked about."?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It would actually be flip-flopped in this case. You want to stress "bread" in this instance, so it would be "Ekmek bu."

[skyline502]

That's very interesting! Thanks.

Taking a hint from şu ekmek in the previous exercise, can this also mean This is bread ?

[LadyNurington]

Yes, saying "bu ekmektir" would be a less ambiguous "this is bread".
