Documentation

[edit]

This template is designed for the all Turkish adjectives.

Usage

[edit]

This template should be placed in all Turkish adjective sections (positive form only), immediately following the ===Adjective=== section header. It provides the inflection line for the entry. The template also automatically categorizes the entry in Category:Turkish adjectives.

As with other Wiktionary inflection templates, please do not use subst:.

Parameters

[edit]

The template requires no parameters.

E.g., on küçük:

===Adjective===
{{tr-adj}}
# [[small]]

The above code displays as follows:

Adjective

küçük (comparative daha küçük, superlative en küçük)
  1. small

Head parameter

[edit]

I object, as a "head" parametre would be useful, like in the English version of this template, which I confess is too complicated to understand in the time I have. Is it possible for you to add this part from the Template:en-adj? Sae1962 (talk) 06:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Not all adjectives are comparable.

[edit]

The documentation states: "As the comparative and superlative of Turkish adjectives are always the same, it is not possible to enter them." However, not all adjectives are comparable. An example in English is unique". This is recognized by the template {{en-adj}}, which allows one to indicate noncomparability with a parameter "-". In Turkish it likewise doesn't make sense to use daha eşsiz or en eşsiz, yet the template {{tr-adj}} does not allow you to avoid these forms.  --Lambiam 13:09, 1 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yet another example: evvelki.  --Lambiam 12:42, 25 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
