Proper Nouns in Turkish, or Özel isimler, are typically used to name unique entities such as people, places, organizations, or some events. Similar to English, these names are capitalized in Turkish. They can be names of people (e.g. Ahmet, Ayşe), countries (e.g. Türkiye, İngiltere) and cities (e.g. İstanbul, Ankara), brands (e.g. Apple, Samsung), days and months (e.g. Pazartesi, Ocak).
