Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
In Azerbaijani, shapes act as simple adjectives placed directly before the noun they describe.
- Place the shape before the noun: 'Kvadrat masa' (Square table).
- Shapes do not change form based on the noun's gender (Azerbaijani has no grammatical gender).
- Use 'bu' (this) or 'o' (that) to point to a shaped object: 'Bu dairəvi qutudur'.
