Describing people
Adjectives stay unchanged: . They normally go before a noun. For a description sentence use ; personal endings appear with I and you: .
Possessive third person can follow a plural: . means Emre’s eyes are brown. Hair on the head is commonly plural .
means she has glasses. No masculine or feminine ending depends on the person. Learn , the boy in the photo, as a whole descriptive expression before -ki is revisited.
