Personal endings in simple statements
Turkish often uses personal endings directly on nouns and adjectives to build identity and description statements.
Examples
TurkishTranslation
Ben öğrenciyim.
I am a student.
Hazırım.
I am ready.
Biz mutluyuz.
We are happy.
Pattern
noun/adjective + personal ending
How it works
Turkish often uses personal endings directly on nouns and adjectives to build identity and description statements. This pattern typically appears as noun/adjective + personal ending and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- The ending carries person information directly.
- There is no separate present-tense “to be” verb in these simple patterns.
Why it matters

Use in context
This helps you see that identity statements do not work like English sentences.
