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'.
Shape + Noun = Description
