If you read the thread carefully you will see that we are talking about  "prefixes" [foreign prefixes] that are in use in Turkish.[whether in combined form or adapted form] We don´t say that there is "Turkish prefix" in Turkish. Can you not see it ?

 

 

 

 

Who cares about foreign prefixes if they are NOT something functional in your language?

Maybe you but not everybody.

You have to care about them as we [including you] are using them in Turkish. At least for the sake of  bring the "awareness of their existence in Turkish Language".

Excuse me tunci,

 

The "awareness of their existence in Turkish Language" is really important. I failed to see it.

Not prefxes but we have some functional foreign suffixes:

 

-gen (from Greek, suggested by Atatürk)

3-gen =trigon

4-gen = quadrilateral

5-gen = pentagon

6-gen = hexagon

çok-gen = polygon

etc.

 

-(ha)ne (From Persian)

ders-ane

kütüp-hane

pasta-ne

posta-ne

yağ-hane

yazı-hane

 

-zede (From Persian)

deprem-zede

etc.

 

-at (From Arabic)

gidiş-at

 

-iyet

cumhur-iyet (yes it seems Arabic but it was invented by Turks and entered Arabic from Turkish)

 

 

etc.

Yes, it is arabic.

It is called "The Nisba Adjective: "

The Nisba is a common suffix to form adjectives of relation or pertinence. The suffix is -iyy-for masculine and -iyyah- for feminine gender (in other words, it is -iyy- and is inserted before the gender marker).

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

A construction noun + nisba-adjective is often equivalent to nominal composition in Indo-European languages.

In formal Arabic, the shedda on the Nisba ending is clearly pronounced, but in spoken Arabic it is not normally pronounced in the masculine.

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

cumhur ---> crowd, multitude,people[ it comes from "cem"]

Importing some words with some prefix in them doesn´t mean we have that prefix in our language functional. It means it´s  just another loan word.

 

I just wanted to say loanwords belong to Turkish vocabulary just like homespun elements do. Not every speaker carries an etymological dictionary in his pocket.

 

Another thing is if the prefix gayri really doesn´t have any productivity at all in the target language. Maybe it was not needed: değil exists, olmayan exists, -sIz exists. It´s meaning as a prefix seems to be recognized by folks anyway because it is used independently as well. (Another alternative is there are two borrowed elements here, prefix gayri and adjective gayri.)

You are right, I can´t find any Turkish origin words combined with gayri.

 

But now we come to basic questions: aren´t kanuni, maddi, safi, ciddi Turkish words in your opinion?

 

We have kanuni and gayri-kanuni, ciddi and gayri-ciddi but they don´t enter Arabic from Turkish. They were both imported from Arabic.

 

Importing some words with some prefix in them doesn´t mean we have that prefix in our language functional. It means it´s  just another loan word.

 Sorry, just trying to bring the thread back to the original discussion.

 

I also forget Gross National Product (GSMH), where I always find it convoluted that the Turkish for Gross is Gayri Safi which is literally "not-Net".

 

Out of interest, are all these uses of gayri with a word of Arabic or Persian origin?
