"Horses are very big."

[melis7992]

When should I add the suffix -tür? is it ok to just say büyüktür?

[Ektoraskan]

When you mean ALL the horses are very big; thus make it an encyclopaedical information, you use -tür.

[Antlered_Moose]

Is this akin to the difference between "apples are big" and "apples are big (in this orchard)"? Would the first use -tür?

[Ektoraskan]

Exactly.

Can I say "atlar cok büyük"?

[Dakota_Marz]

it is accepted as a solution so i would guess so. With that being said i wonder what context would require the ''to be'' suffıx

[p8c]

hmmm, why not "büyüklar" i am wondering? what am i missing? 3rd person plural. should i be looking at the noun or the adverb to determine the ending for büyüktür?

[Ektoraskan]

hmmm... I guess you can say "atlar çok büyükler". It's unusual, but I've added it.

[ChiBegam]

Can we use "atlar çok büyükler"? I mean "Atlar" are a group of animal, is it OK to say "atlar çok büyükler" in this case?

[Ektoraskan]

It's not incorrect, but everyone say Atlar çok büyük.

[NahokoTosh]

Or we don't need to say "ler" at the end because we have plural with "atlar"

[Dakota_Marz]

Well it is kinda like English in this respect. We would not say "The horses are bigges" we would say "The horses are big" unlike most romantic language where there is strong gender and number agreement. I am only as knowledgeable in Turkish as you are but I think that is why. Different languages = different agreement

[NahokoTosh]

Okey I see ;3 me I'm french haha but I also study Japanese in university and people say that rules can ressemble but for the moment i don't see ;)

[NahokoTosh]

Can we say "büyüktürler" ?

[ToBePolyglott]

You can't make an adjective plural. The horses are not bigs, they're just big.

[Jason354]

When does büyük become büyüktur? İm guessing only when the word are is involved

[AhmedTarek84203]

Can we use at instead of atlar???

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Nope, plural subjects must have the plural suffix.

[dilara626239]

I would say "Atlar çok büyükler" because it just sounds better for me. I live in a turkish family, but my turkish is not that good, so is it wrong to say büyükler? Or just not common?

[rim398505]

Why atlar çok büyüktür and not çok büyük

[Enik904229]

The following was offered to me among the other options: "Küçükeklemeyinzatensıfatlardavar" Is this a real word?? If so, please let me know the meaning :-)

[Akash_Polyglot]

I think it is not one word !!
