"A spider is small."

[Germanlehrerlsu]

Is is grammatical correct to leave off the suffix on 'small'?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Yes. With the suffix on small, it makes it seem like a statement of fact. If you don't have it, it makes it seem like a general statement about some spider.

[Germanlehrerlsu]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the quick response.

[Burhan_BALKAN]

Küçük bir örümcek?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

That would be "A small spider"

[zeid188584]

please can anyone make it clear .... why cant we say : orumcek kucuk ... in the previuo level there was : Kurbaga kucuk Kopek buyuk

[Farzan_Fathi]

Both are acceptable.

What is the difference between küçüktür and ķüçüksun?

[Dxb---Dxb]

I think:-
"Küçüktür" is a fact (due to the -dIr suffix).
"Küçüksün" means 'You are small'.

Hope that helps :)

[Nana969415]

you just answered my question
thanks a lot

[kardelen18245]

Küçüktür= it is small
Küçüksün= you are small

[derya961821]

I am confused between küçüktür and the other grammer that states facts which comes with "dır"

[sporks5000]

1) If this is "A spider is small", how would you change it to make it "The spider is small"?

[Farzan_Fathi]

I think that would be the same sentence. (I'm not a native)

[gluadys]

You would probably leave off the "tur" ending, since one would not normally make a general statement about a specific spider. So "Örümcek küçük."

[Nana969415]

why does duloingo suggest translation:Örümcek küçüktür.

[marwanabde654019]

I'm confused between when I use the suffix -dir and -tir :(

[zeid188584]

The general rule says (Use d...!) ... but in the words ending with a voiceless consonant (k,t,ç,p,s,ş,f,h) you should use t instead.
i,ı,u,ü ... used according to the 4WVH Rule.
So you will get (dir,dır,dur,dür,tir,tır,tur,tür)
Enjoy:küçüktür, ucuzdur, kısadır, sıcaktır, zayıftır, gençtir, gülüştür......
