Miktar belirteçleri (quantifiers)

Miktar belirteçleri bir ismin ne kadar / kaç tane olduğunu anlatır. Doğru olanı seçmek için iki soru sor: 1) İsim sayılabilir mi, sayılamaz mı? 2) Anlam olumlu mu (yeterli var) yoksa olumsuz mu (neredeyse yok)? Özellikle few / a few ve little / a little arasındaki fark anlamı tamamen değiştirir.

📌 Özet tablo

few vs a fewfew = neredeyse yok (olumsuz anlam) / a few = birkaç tane var (olumlu)Few people came. (az geldi — kötü) / A few people came. (birkaç kişi — tamam)little = neredeyse yok / a little = biraz var
⚠️⚠️ 'few' (olumsuz — neredeyse yok) vs 'a few' (olumlu — birkaç var) | 'little' (olumsuz) vs 'a little' (olumlu) | 'a large number of' sadece countable plural! ❌ a large number of money ✅ a large amount of money

Why We Eat What We Eat

sarı işaretli kelimeler bu ünitenin hedef yapıları ve kalıplarıdır.

Food is never just fuel. It is culture, history, identity, and memory. Every country has a great deal of history hidden in its dishes.

Turkish cuisine, for example, has absorbed a large number of influences — from Central Asia, the Middle East, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean — across centuries of empire and migration. Take bread: there are plenty of varieties in Turkey alone — pide, simit, lavaş, bazlama, mısır ekmeği. Hardly any Turkish meal is served without it.

Korean kimchi — fermented vegetables with a variety of spices — has been made for many centuries. A large number of recent studies suggest it may have significant probiotic benefits. However, little definitive scientific consensus exists yet, and more research is needed.

The Japanese consume very little red meat compared to most Western nations — much less saturated fat overall. A few researchers have attributed Japan's exceptional life expectancy partly to diet, though genetics and healthcare also play roles.

Plenty of global food trends are emerging. A few years ago, dishes like kimchi tacos, matcha lattes, and Turkish-inspired fusion were unknown outside their home countries. Now they are everywhere.

In Turkey, there is a great deal of variety in the food culture from region to region. People eat plenty of vegetables, legumes, and grains. There are a large number of distinctive regional dishes that reflect local history. However, there is hardly any fast food culture in rural Anatolia compared to the big cities.

2Favori yemek

Describe your favourite meal. What is it made from? How much of each ingredient is used? Where does it come from? Use countable/uncountable nouns correctly.
0 kelime
My favourite traditional meal is mantı — tiny Turkish dumplings filled with spiced minced meat. A small amount of yoghurt is served on top, along with a little hot butter sauce with red pepper. It originally comes from Central Asian nomadic cuisine and was brought to Anatolia centuries ago.
