"Indian dishes are very good!"

Translation: Hint yemekleri çok güzel!

[Alex.nn]

Why güzel and not iyi?

[Mirage20]

Hint yemekleri çok lezzetli (delicious) might have been a better word choice rather than güzel (beautiful or good) for this exercise.

[douknoukem]

why doesn't hintli yemeklerli work

[ex_contributor]

hintli is for people from India

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Nope, "hintli" really isn't a proper word. :) It is "hint."

[Levi_J]

Why is it yemekleri here and not just yemekler?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

"Hint" and "yemekler" for a noun compound. For this reason, you get the -i on the end. :)

[meAFrd]

What does the -i stand for?

[Yiannis49]

You just add i/ı/u/ü to the second word when you have a compound noun, e.g. chocolate cake or London Bridge in English.

[JilaJelly]

Why iyi is not accepted?

[bellapiko]

Yes I put iyi rather than beautiful but marked wrong??

[TJ_Q8]

Since we are referring to "yemekleri" - why not "güzeller"?

I've been trying with another sentence (çinli kadınlar çok güzeller); Here, when I used "güzel" alone it was marked wrong.

[GeertPotters]

Isn't it that the verb ending -ler should only be used when the subjects are persons (and meals are not)?

[Sayel.Abbadi]

Evet doğru.

[CarolineDa134133]

I would really like to know the answer to this, too!

[Chris279882]

Nobody appears to have answered the question why is 'iyi' [good] not accepted? Any takers?

dishes = bulaşıklar was wrong, why?

[Agnieszka35623]

Bulaşıklar means plates to wash

[MrHilmiNevzat]

Agnieszka35623

Bulaşıklar means plates to wash.

Nicely put.

^ & lingot.

[lucaturilli]

Because in this context(culture cuisine), it means 'meals'.

[PFess]

Could yiyecekler work here?

[MargaretaS624701]

Can I say "Hint gıdaları çok güzel" as well?

[Mirage20]

"Gıdaları" would not really work in this context because "gıda" is more akin to "nutrition", and not a type of food dish or meal.

[MargaretaS624701]

Thanks

Hintçe kitap vs Hint yemekleri ?! Nedenmiş o !?
Thanks in advance.

[Kirsten58593]

Hintçe is the indian language.

[Bea346]

Indian dishes = Hint yemekLERi
Indian books = Hint kitap
Why is "yemek" in Plural and "kitap" in Singular?

[TJ_Q8]

when do we use the adjective in singular form and when in plural form, when the adjective is predicative?

[kitty276873]

Just here to thank the one who included India as well!
Much love from India

[effatdiba]

Dishes kap kacak demek !

[jenfenmyri]

Why is it 'Hint yemekleri' here but in another exercise it was Çin yemeği'..? What's the difference?

[Chris279882]

Have a look at MrHilmiNevzat's answer above. It clarifies the position very well
