                             ----------gibi  durmak  form ;

                - seem like to be , looking like to be [to do]

................gibi dur + tense [usually p.progressive] + person

* It has to be in the end of the statement.

* we cant use as " sounds like " as we need to witness or see the person ,thing or action that we use it for.

In some cases the particle "ile" [with] works as conjunction "ve" [and] ;

 

Ankara ile İstanbul arası kaç saattir ? ---> How long [how many hours] it takes between Ankara and İstanbul ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahmetle Mehmet buradalar. ---> Ahmet and Mehmet are here.

Ahmet + ile + Mehmet burada[lar].

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O Türkçe´yle Arapça biliyor ---> He/She knows Turkish and Arabic.

Türkçe + y [buffer] + ile + Arapça

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes we see vowel Epenthesis[adding sound into a word]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bir = One

Bir + i +cik [Biricik]à Only, unique, well beloved

------------------

Dar = Narrow

Dar + a + cık [Daracık] -> Very narrow, very tight

------------------

Az = Little

Az + ı + cık [Azıcık]à Very little,

------------------

Genç = Young

Genç + e +cik [Gencecik] à Very young.

------------------

into some words with one syllable suffix.

 1.

 

When some of one syllabled words such as bir,dar,az,genç takes the

diminutive suffix -cık,cik,cuk,cük.

2.

 

The extra sound [vowel] goes into between the word and the diminutive

 

some of words with one syllable.

 "Liaison " [Ulama] in Turkish ;

a. when a word ends with a consonant = ekmek, almak , evden

b. and if the following word ends with a vowel ;

  then two words are read as if they are one word.

Bir ekmek almak için evden çıktı.

 Birekmekalmakkiçinevden çıktı.

---------------------------------------------------------------

 Important Note * = If there is any punctuation marks we cant read those words that way. In other words there shouldnt be any punctuation marks between words for "liason" [ulama].

In Turkish , when "n" comes just before "b" , the "n" changes into "m" ;

Çenber  ---> Çember

Tenbel ----> Tembel

Çarşanba ---> Çarşamba

------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Note that this rule doesnt apply to Compound words and Proper Nouns such as ;

- Sonbahar,

- İstanbul

- Safranbolu
