Turkish 是國家 Turkey 的形容詞。它一次涵蓋三件事。東西的來源,像 Turkish coffee。人的身分,像 a Turkish student。還有語言,像 a Turkish newspaper。它永遠大寫 T,放在句子中間也一樣。講人的時候英文有兩種說法。a Turkish woman 用形容詞。a Turk 用名詞。這個字不加 more 或 most。因為一樣東西不是來自土耳其,就是不是。
示範例句 · Example

中文翻譯我們在一家小店停下來,喝土耳其咖啡,還有一盤甜點。
Turkish is the adjective that belongs to the country Turkey. It covers three things at once: where something comes from (Turkish coffee), who a person is (a Turkish student), and the language (a Turkish newspaper). It always starts with a capital T, wherever it sits in the sentence. For a person English gives you two ways to say it: a Turkish woman uses this adjective, and a Turk uses the noun. It does not take more or most, because a thing is either from Turkey or it is not.

The language people speak in Turkey. It is also an official language in Cyprus and in northern Cyprus.
這裡的 Turkish 是名詞,是語言的名字。英文的語言名字要大寫,前面不加 the。所以說 I am learning Turkish,不說 the Turkish。它也沒有複數。要說「用某種語言」,英文用 in,例如 in Turkish。同一個字在這一頁做兩件事。當形容詞時可以指國家,當名詞時就只指語言。
Here Turkish is a noun: the name of the language. Language names in English take a capital letter and no article, so you say I am learning Turkish, not the Turkish. They have no plural either. To say what language something is written or spoken in, English uses in: in Turkish. Notice that the same word is doing two jobs across the page — as an adjective it can point at the country, but as a noun it only ever means the language.
