Definition

Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes. They may also function as predicates, as in

• Mavi araba “(the) blue car”
• Araba mavi “(the) car is blue”

In Turkish the Adjective do not inflect. Degree is specified using adverbs daha and en.

We distinguish between adjectives, determiners and numerals. We do not mark determiners as adjectives as is the case in most (traditional) dictionaries and grammars.

Examples

• büyük “big”
• eski “old”
• yeşil “green”
