"Spring is very beautiful."

Translation: İlkbahar çok güzel.

[Hojinkie]

I thought spring was "bahar" without the "ilk."

[barackjames]

Hey!
Yes,they are interchangable.

[Momo.Reza]

turks have ilkbahar which means first and sonbahar is fall.sonbahar is the second bahar or last bahar.
Son+bahar, is son here means second or last?

[mizinamo]

Son is "last" or "end". Compare "hafta sonu" (week-end).

[joklomo]

Why is it: Ocak bir ayDIR, and why not: Ilkbahar çok güzelDIR?
When with "to be" are you using nothing and when - dir etc? Is it optional?

[ilknr1]

Yes it is optional. Generally we use it in general statements.

ps. The correct sentence would be "İlkbahar çok güzeldir." (not -dır) due to vowel harmony.

[joklomo]

Thank you so much!

[ilknr1]

You are welcome.

What's the pronunciation of "güzel"? Guzel or guzal?

[kaltdrazcoy]

could "ne" also work instead of "çok"?

[GrahamMege]

Doesn't "ne" mean "how"...therefore it would mean "How nice is spring?"

[lucaturilli]

Yes, it would. However it is more like 'How nice spring is!

[crystalliu647]

It's correct but it's not literally the translation of the English sentence.

[zeid188584]

Duo did not accept it .... although it means (so, too.....)

[lucaturilli]

In this sentence, it also works.

[crystalliu647]

Why does it tell me I have a typo when I put "İlkbahar çok güzel"?
