Quoting Abla

What about baş-? It has an independent meaning ´head´ but it is often written as one word in compounds like

 

                    başbakan

                    başkent

                    başparmak

 

and there is even no POSS in the end.

 

It should refer an ´organ´ başbakan and başkent do not refer an organ. When it comes to "başparmak " that must be exception I believe.

The rule for that exception is that ;

The adjective compounds that are formed with "baş " are written as One word ;

a.  başparmak

başağırlık,

başbakan,

başbayan,

başçavuş

başeser,

başfiyat

başhekim,

başhemşire

başkahraman

başkent

başkomutan

başköşe

başmüfettiş

başöğretmen

baş­parmak

başpehlivan

başrol

başsavcı

başyazar .

8. " İle " can be written  seperately as well as attached to the word.

a. When they suffixed to the words that end with a consonant the vowel "i" drops and it follows the vowel harmony ;

bulut-la (bulut ile)

çiçek-le (çiçek ile)

kuş-la (kuş ile)

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

b. When they suffixed to the words that end with a vowel they take buffer "y" and "i" drops and it follows the vowel harmony.

arkadaşı-y-la (arkadaşı ile)

çevre-y-le (çevre ile)

sürü-y-le (sürü ile)

yapı-y-la (yapı ile)

9. The conjunction "ki" is written seperately.

bilmem ki

demek ki

kaldı ki

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

* In couple of  exceptions the conjunction "ki" is attached to the word, it is because those words are in fixed  forms.

belki

çün

hâlbuki

mademki

meğerki

oysaki

sanki

10. The conjunction "da / de" is written seperately and it follows the vowel harmony.

 

Kızı da geldi gelini de.

Durumu oğluna da bildirdi.

Sen de mi kardeşim?

Güç de olsa.

Konuşur da konuşur.


* Conjunction "da/de" never changes into "ta/te"


"da" that is written with the word "ya"  is seperated.---> Ya  da [Or]


Apostrophe can NOT be used  with the conjunction "da/de" .

Ayşe de geldi --> [Ayşe has come too] ---> CORRECT

Ayşe´de geldi ---> [Ayşe has come too] ------> WRONG [because of "apostrophe"]

11. The question suffix " mı / mi / mu / mü "  is written  separately and follows vowel harmony.

Kaldı mı?

Olur mu?

İnsanlık öldü mü?

* The suffixes comes after question "mI" is written as attached.

Verecek misin?

Okuyor muyuz?

Çocuk muyum?

Gelecek miydi?

Güler misin ağlar mısın?

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

Warning ;

In compound words the question suffix " mI"  can come into between two words ;

Vaz geçtin?
