Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Turkish
I speak one language [singular form] Ben bir dil konuşuyorum
we speak three languages [plural noun] Biz üç dil konuşuyoruz
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] O birsürü ülkeyi ziyaret eder
they are happy now [plural pronoun] Onlar şimdi mutlu
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] Onun beş kırmızı ayakkabısı var
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] Ben soğansız sandviç istiyorum

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Turkish by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

Call the ambulance Ambulans çağırın
I need a doctor Bir doktora ihtiyacım var
Where is the closest pharmacy? En yakın eczane nerede?
Are you okay? Sen iyi misin?
