-DIr is normally used for stating encyclopedic facts or strong assumptions. This is neither of those things, so no. :)
Hello... May be but it was accepted in others lessons on sentences which were not stating encyclopedic facts or strong assumptions... Should be checked, i think..
I think yes, but the multiple-choice offering with "bence" used "şu" ("that") instead of "bu" ("this") and hence was incorrect for a different reason.
I said erkek too and they said is wrong! But i really don't understand why...
I wonder if it's the same idea in English. While we would say, "This man is handsome," and not "This male is handsome," occasionally, we will use "male" but only in specific, clinic-like contexts: "Two males were apprehended after the robbery," Police Chief Johnson said. Or, "How many males and how many females are in the nursing class?" I'm thinking that "adam" (man) and "erkek" (male) are similarly used. Ne diyorsunuz, Turkish experts?
You got it :) "erkek" is commonly used when you have a sentence with "kadın" or when you really want to stress gender.
Can anyone explain to me the difference between
(Yine/tekrar)
(bazen/genelde/genellikle/Çoğunlukla)
(Şimdi/ artık)
Thanks.
Because (1) it is the subject, and (2) there is no verb in the Turkish sentence.
