Structures of  some conjunctive prepositions [conjunctions];

 

* Some prepositions are formed out of multiple elements and conjoins the statements in sentences. Such as ;

 

Sanki ---->  Sanmak = to suppose, to 

 

San  +   ki   --->  as if , seems like.

 

 

 

=================================================== 

 

Halbuki ---->  Hal  bu [dur] ki --->  Literally ; this is the situation.  The situation is that ; 

 

Hal + bu [dur] + ki ----> Halbuki  

As we see, the preposition was in clause form but it later cliched and became a preposition. And it means ; however, whereas, but, while 

 

====================================================

 

Oysaki ----->   O  ise   ki  ---> Literally ; if  it [that] is that . 

 

O [pronoun] +  ise [ if ] +  ki 

 

means ;  whereas, yet, though, however,but

 

=======================================================

 

Ola ki  ---->  Ol  [ stem of verb "olmak"] +  a [ optative marking of 3´th person] + ki 

 

means ; perhaps, may be probably

 

========================================================

 

And in some exclamational prepositions are formed of multiple elements ; such as ;

 

Haydi ! , Hadi !  

 

We use this preposition to calling out to someone in order to say  ; come on ! , go on !, come on !, go ahead !….

 

How this word is formed is ;

Hay + de  --->

Hay [ this is the word for "God [the ever living one "al hayy" ] "    , it also means " effort, endeavour"

de = say 

so it is obvious that this word is formed to motivate ,encourage, to make people perform effort for something.

 

it has various way of usages in some dialects today ;

haydi, haydin, haydiyin, haydın…..

 

==========================================================
