türkischer

Türkischer is the inflected form of the German adjective türkisch, meaning Turkish. It describes things related to Turkey or the Turkish language, culture, or people. In German, adjectives are declined to match the case, gender and number of the noun they modify. Türkischer is most commonly seen in the masculine singular when the adjective appears without a determiner, as in türkischer Kaffee (Turkish coffee) or türkischer Reisender (a Turkish traveler). With a definite article, the form changes to türkische in the nominative singular, as in der türkische Staat or die türkische Küche; other cases yield endings such as des türkischen Staates (genitive) or dem türkischen Mann (dative).

The root also yields other forms: the capitalized noun Türke refers to a Turkish person, while türkisch

Etymology and scope: türkisch derives from the ethnonym Türk, reflecting the Turkish people and Turkey. In German,
